Prayer at Home
The Story at Home is a weekly resource based on one of the readings for the coming Sunday. Each week, a couple of multi-age activities are proposed as well as reflection questions and articles for further reading.
Daily and Nightly Prayers offer a pattern for returning our attention to God. This simple service of Daily Prayer can be used with the Revised Common Lectionary office readings or with the included set of seasonal readings. The service of Nightly Prayer includes a short guided reflection (examen) on your day.
