Some Sundays include additional prayer options.

"An eminently useful collection of worship resources tailored for the lectionary year."
– The United Church Observer

"These are truly wholesome and appropriate responsive prayers that engage the pray-ers… [They are] composed with an eye to the contemporary religious climate and are truly “about us” and our beliefs as a worshipping body of Christ’s faithful."

"…an accessible, relatable and scripturally rooted collection of prayers to help inspire worship leaders. This book is like having a trusted colleague, on the ready that you can riff off, augment or borrow from when you are at a loss for words."
