Eucharistic Prayers

<DIV> </DIV><DIV><B>Academy of Parish Clergy’s Top Ten Books for Parish Ministry</B><BR /><BR /><I>Elegant volume of liturgical prayers that tie sacrament and Word together theologically</I><BR /><BR /> This unique elegant resource for ministers and worship planners provides a beautifully crafted Eucharistic prayer for every Sunday of the three-year Revised Common Lectionary cycle also including prayers for special holy days and other occasions.<BR /><BR /> In a helpful introduction Samuel Wells and Abigail Kocher offer guidance on how to make the Eucharistic prayer a congregational highlight. Too often they say what should be the most dynamic moment of a congregation's liturgical life becomes a low-energy low-engagement event. Closely tying the sacramental rite to the words of Scripture for the day these theologically appropriate pastorally fitting and linguistically satisfying prayers change the Great Thanksgiving prayer from a lull in the liturgy to a focused fresh and engaged moment for the congregation.</DIV>
