Book of Uncommon Prayer
Details
No longer are creeds, candles, and formal prayers just for elderly parishioners in liturgical churches. Believe it or not, your middle and high schoolers are hungry for the treasures of tradition. The Book of Uncommon Prayer contains troves of prayers, group readings, devotionals, and public Scripture readings. Prayers for lock-ins and final exams... prayers for families and enemies... and complete services for All Hallows Eve, Good Friday, a "Dumpster" Christmas, and more.
Highly participatory and appropriate for youth groups from all Christian traditions-mainline, evangelical, Catholic-Uncommon Prayer even includes a music CD, ("Eucharist"), an atmospheric, energetic, ancient-meets-postmodern collection of songs straight from today's worship movement in the UK.
If you lead camps, retreats, church worship, or youth groups, The Book of Uncommon Prayer will be uncommonly valuable to you.
What is SoulShaper?
SoulShaper resources use historic, contemplative practices and flesh them out in the context of modern youth ministry. Students learn to see God in their everyday lives and connect to God's unfolding story through silence, scriptural meditation, contemplative prayer, spiritual listening, and a host of other counter-cultural practices.
You may think, "Isn't that just new-age stuff?" No! Just because new-agers coopted spiritual practices that began as devotions to Jesus doesn't mean we should shy away from them. They're part of our tradition, part of our story.
These revolutionary, old ways of listening to God will help students move God from being academic and distant to being relational and intimate.
