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 worship resources and suggested books on prayer.

The early Christian saints understood that God was with them as they milked a cow, sowed a field, weeded, ploughed or harvested. He was with them in the mundane as well as the spectacular, the wind and rain as well as the sunshine, on mountain top and seashore. Worship, prayer and life were truly connected.

Ah, if only we could reach that point, how our lives and worship would be enhanced!

John Birch, Kidwelly, Wales


 

 


"Like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth, and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world. "

Brenda Peterson

In the lonely places
The wilderness
Where we stand forlorn
Windswept and alone
Your voice calls out
Prepare a way for the Lord
In the dark places
The shadows
Where we hide our fears
Embrace our tears
Your voice calls out
Prepare a way for the Lord

 

There is a transformation that takes place
within the warmth of your embrace
That certain knowledge that you are
refuge, shelter, fortress and stronghold
against which no army can succeed
That you are Brother, Sister, Mother, Father
the love that knows no bounds
That you are God
And I am lost outside of your arms

Advent & Christmas!

Advent is a spiritual journey that Christians take, through the truths of Scripture that point to the birth of Messiah, to a reaffirmation that he has come, is present in the world today and will come again in glory.
