Christian Prayer
and Liturgy Resources
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. |

New! Prayers from
Carmina Galetica
From the oral tradition this is a selection
of prayers which bridge the pagan/Christian times of Scotland
(more)
In the fading of the summer sun,
the shortening of days, cooling breeze,
swallows' flight and moonlight rays
A. WE SEE THE CREATOR'S HAND
In the browning of leaves once green,
morning mists, autumn chill,
fruit that falls, frost's first kiss
A. WE SEE THE CREATOR'S HAND
We bless you, God of Seed and Harvest
And we bless each other
That the beauty of this world
And the love that created it
Might be expressed though our lives
And be a blessing to others
Now and always
A. AMEN
This is your garden, Creator God
A thing of beauty
Beyond understanding
A poem that is being written
Not in words
But in colours
Wind's whisper
Soaring bird
Snowdrop's petal
Gentle rain
Sunlight's warmth
This is your garden, Creator God
A thing of beauty
Beyond understanding
Bring light
to the darkest corner
Bring sight
to the blinded eye
Set loose
the wounded spirit
Bring truth
to the eternal ‘Why?’

Bible Study
'Amazing Love'
A series of 5 Bible Studies based upon the Isaac Watt's
hymn
'When I survey the wondrous Cross'
(Can be used at any time of the year)
This wonderful hymn by Isaac Watts encompasses the
whole Lent season as it asks us to look, or survey the
wonder of the cross - but not only the wonder, he vividly
paints the colour of Christ's agony and death on the
cross.
This material is presented for ease of duplication,
and permission given for this for group use within a
single fellowship.
