Take Our Moments # 1: An Anabaptist Prayer Book: Ordinary Time

By Arthur Paul Boers and Herald Press Editors

Take Our Moments and Our Daysis a four-week cycle of morning and evening prayer services prepared for the period in the church year between Pentecost and Advent. The services focus on the teaching and ministry of Jesus: the Lord's Prayer (week one), the Beatitudes (week two), Jesus' parables (week three), and Jesus' miracles (week four). The prayer services are designed for use by small groups of families, although they are suitable for individuals as well. The central features are:

Scripture-saturated prayer. Virtually all the words in these prayers are adapted or taken directly from the Bible. The voice of Jesus. The words of Jesus are strikingly prominent in these services. Anabaptist coloration. Lying behind the prayers is a pattern of themes that are especially important in the Anabaptist tradition.

Published in collaboration with the Institute of Mennoite Studies at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, Indiana.

Excellent Prayer Book

Take Our Moments and Our Days is an excellent prayer book for use in a group. The prayers are arranged for morning and evening prayer in a four week cycle focused on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ: Lord's Prayer, Beatitudes, Parables, Signs and Wonders. In addition to psalms and other scripture readings, there is opportunity for silence, song, and free prayers of thanksgiving and intercession in this format. The book has been helpful in sponsoring the life of discipleship in our community.
