A collection of fresh, inspiring Prayers of the People that connect to the Sunday lectionary.

The needs of the church change from week to week, and the Prayers of the People should change with them. Hear Our Prayer features Prayers of the People that connect to the themes of the readings for each Sunday and principal feast in the Revised Common Lectionary. Originally crafted for the Subversive Undercroft podcast, hosted by Jon White and Lisa Graves, the prayers are contemporary, inclusive, and deeply relevant.

Based on the pattern for the Prayers of the People in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, the prayers in this volume retain the familiarity of liturgical tradition, while offering a call to action to congregations in the present. Suggestions for customizing each prayer for the needs of individual worshipping communities appear throughout the book, and a concluding section includes prayers that respond to current events such as natural disasters, mass shootings, and elections.

Reviews for Hear Our Prayer: Prayers of the People for the Revised Common Lectionary

"Graves and White have gifted the church with Prayers of the People for every proper of the Revised Common Lectionary. This allows the prayers to rise as the people's response to the scriptures. * Juan M.C. Oliver, former custodian of The Book of Common Prayer and author, A House of Meanings: Christian Worship in Plain Language * The language is invocative and rich in biblical imagery, and the work lends itself to communal worship. I appreciate the care and depth of the theological reflection that went into the writing of these collects. * Mark Van Koevering, bishop, The Episcopal Dioceses of Lexington * I heartily commend this new resource to broaden and deepen our communal prayer life. * Bosco Peters, chaplain, Christ's College, Canterbury, New Zealand and author, Celebrating Eucharist * ""Hear Our Prayer is a resource that you will find you turn to time and again."" * Practical Church Resources *"
