Prayers of Preparation

Vestry prayers are an important part of worship, offering the opportunity to focus people's thoughts upon God so that they are better prepared to hear his word, glimpse his presence, and offer their response with body, mind and soul.

Prayers of Preparation includes a short preparatory prayer for every Sunday, in every language of the three-year cycle of the Common Worship lectionary, and prayers for special days and occasions. Each prayer is linked with the theme or occasion to be celebrated and leads meaningfully into worship.
