Anabaptist Prayer Book
Take Our Moments and Our Days: An Anabaptist Prayer Book
We invite you to share in a form of prayer that originated in the earliest Christian times and has continued through the centuries.
The distinctive Anabaptist flavor of this collection of daily prayers is evident in the predominance of Jesus' voice, the space for communal reflection on scripture, and the specific choices of Bible readings. We offer these services in the hope that you will find in them a way of prayer through which the voice of Jesus will pervade your whole day.
Two volumes for the church year
Volume I of Take Our Moments and Our Days is designed for Ordinary Time with a four-week cycle of morning and evening prayers. These draw on the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes, parables and miracles.
Volume II of Take our moments and our Days includes morning and evening prayers for the seasons of Advent. Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost
Using the prayer book: Each volume has helpful information in the Preface, Introduction and Notes on the importance of daily prayer, how to pray with others, how these prayer services are organized and ways to use these services in different settings. Please read these beginning sections of the volumes as you begin exploring Take Our Moments and Our Days.
