This Meal We Share
Whenever we gather around the Lord's table, we come as we are to share in things which are greater than ourselves. All good worship depends on achieving a happy balance between two aspects: being faithful to the tradition of the Church, doing what she has done always and everywhere, but also being faithful to the community that gathers to celebrate. Genuine tradition is a dynamic memory, pushing us forward to celebrate not just our yesterdays, but our todays and all our tomorrows. Too few though they may be, there are among us today pastoral poets - priests who have the gift of being able to express the Church's undying tradition in the words which they know best suit the assembly gathered in that particular place on that particular day. This Meal We Share is a collection of such prayers by Graham Jeffery, demonstrating how the words the celebrant speaks can come from the heart, not just from the book. May Graham Jeffery's words, humbly offered, encourage and inspire you as you pray with and in the name of your community. Specifications Format: Paperback - Perfect Bound Size: 170 x 240 mm Publication date: February 1998 Page count: 64 pages ISBN: 9781840030082 Contents Preface Introduction The Gathering of God's People Waiting on the Holy Scripture The Confession The Preparation of the Bread and Wine The Prayer of Consecration and the Communion The Gloria Departing

Christ Our Peace
Christ Our Peace offers six short, reflective services for use throughout Lent and Holy Week. Drawing on the early Church's tradition of using the weeks before Easter as a time of instruction, reflection and meditation, this collection provides one service for each of the four Sundays in Lent, together with Passion Sunday and Palm Sunday. Written by Stuart Thomas, the services are designed to be used flexibly. Each can stand on its own, but the individual elements - prayers, responses, songs and meditations - can equally be extracted and used in other contexts. The material is based on the ASB readings and themes for each Sunday in Lent, but is entirely independent and may be used by churches or Christian groups of any tradition. Recognising that quieter, more reflective services may not attract vast congregations, the book takes its inspiration from Christ's promise to be present 'wherever two or three are gathered'. There is space for silence and meditation, with suggestions for hymns from the New Anglican Edition of Hymns Old and New that match the thoughtful tone of the liturgy throughout. Specifications Format: Paperback - Perfect Bound Size: 160 x 245 mm Publication date: 1996 Page count: 32 pages ISBN: 9780862098988 Contents Introduction First Sunday in Lent Second Sunday in Lent Third Sunday in Lent Fourth Sunday in Lent Passion Sunday Palm Sunday
