Formative prayers for children, their families, and their communities.
Rooted in Christian traditions of daily prayer, this volume is an accessible collection that children can use to pray on their own, with their family, or with their school or church community. Designed to help children enter into a life of faith, this volume includes meaningful prayers that shape belief and practice.
With patterns for morning and evening prayer for each season of the church year, supplemented with prayers for widely observed secular and sacred occasions, the book draws children into the liturgical cycle. Questions included within the patterns for morning and evening prayer invite children to reflect on their developing faith. In addition, the volume includes prayers for the milestones of childhood, for the community, and for the earth.
Designed to be used on its own, or with its companion volume, Common Prayer for Children and Families, Prayers for Every Season builds children's faith, at home, at church, or at school.
