How do you begin and end your day?

How we start and end our day matters, and we all have rituals around these times of transition. We’ve created a prayer booklet, to help you start and end your day well, by entering into the presence of God.

The morning prayer service opens the day with this beautiful reminder from 1 John:

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

...and the night service ends the day with these words of comfort and hope:

In peace we will lie down and sleep; For you alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety.

Abide with us, Lord Jesus, For the night is at hand and the day is now past.

As the night watch looks for the morning. So do we look for you, O Christ.

Designed to be a devotional resource as we seek to abide with Jesus, the services include Scripture readings; prayers for guidance, endurance and grace; and “occasional” prayers for, among other things, the discouraged and downcast, times of suffering and weakness, and for renewal in our Church. Taking the basic pattern of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), and streamlining the content, our hope is that this booklet will enrich your prayer life by introducing you to the riches of the BCP.
