Creative Praying in Groups

Parish leaders are often looking for resources which provide non-liturgical ways to begin parish gatherings with prayer. Creative Praying in Groups is a valuable tool for prayer preparation. It is organized in two parts: prayers to be used at meetings and prayers used throughout the year. Each part contains multiple services thematically organized.

This book is accessible and user-friendly. Each service includes:
    •  directions for how to prepare the service
    •  scripture verses that you can use
    •  parts for the prayer leader and those participating in the prayer
    •  a list of items that you will need for the prayer such as specific visual aids, suggestions for music, water, bowls, candles, etc.

Creative Praying in Groups can be used:
    •  with the whole parish
    •  to begin parish meetings
    •  with religious education
    •  with catechetical sessions
    •  on retreats with children, youth, and adults
    •  with RENEW and Bible study groups
    •  at any event or meeting where "two or three are gathered" (Matthew 18:20)
