Christian Prayer and Liturgy Resources

prayer and liturgy from faith and worship

Christian Prayer within worship is a conversation, but sometimes the words dry up when we start talking to the creator of the universe! At times like this it can be useful to dip into prayers that others have written, as they can often inspire us and open our minds to new ways of praising and worshipping our God.

Early Christian prayers show how connected the Celtic church was to the God who created this world, and it's good to remind ourselves of the rich Christian heritage of prayer and worship that we are now stewards of.

This is a collection of new Celtic inspired prayers and liturgy written in the beauty of the Welsh Countryside for private and public use, together with a selection of prayers from other sources, worship resources and suggested books on prayer.
