Christian Prayers & Resources

inspired by the Celtic Christian Church

The (not so) hard sell!

OK, although you're free to use the material on this website (subject to copywrite acknowledgement) it is a fact that keeping the website updated, along with writing new material does take time and money - so here's your opportunity to help by buying a hard copy of the prayers on the site (or an ebook if that suits your needs)

Every little helps, as they say, and it enables me to continue this little ministry!

Thanks for visiting FaithAndWorship.com, do drop by again, as there'll hopefully be a new collection of prayers out soon!

We use PayPal as a secure method of payment, and if you don't have a PayPal account don't worrry, because you can use a debit/credit card.

HEART2HEART

This is a personal collection of new Celtic inspired prayers and liturgies written to be used in private and public worship, together with my selection of worship resources.

There is an influence in all these prayers from the Christian heritage of worship that we have inherited in Britain and Ireland from the earliest days of missionary activity - generally referred to as Celtic Christianity.

Prayers from this collection have been used in resources published by the Methodist, Anglican and Baptist churches, as well as appearing on many websites.

You can buy online from this website securely using either PayPal or a Debit/Credit card. ( Or alternatively via Amazon)

Little Town - Big Story (Advent Study Guide)

Little Town, Big Story is a new Advent Bible Study resource based on the popular Christmas Carol 'O Little Town of Bethlehem' written in 1868 by Phillips Brooks (1835-1893), an Episcopal priest, Rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia and one of the most famous preachers of his time, following a visit to Bethlehem which seems to have affected him deeply.

Four individual Advent studies for small groups, with leader's notes, background information, study material, questions for discussion (including leader's prompts) and prayers to open and close the meeting.

The Advent study is in A4 format, and each week's study can be printed on 2 double sided sheets, allowing space for note taking.

Permission is given for a church to photocopy these resources, so only 1 copy is needed per group!

Connexions - Faith & Creation (ebook)

Connexions is a series of 10 group Bible Studies on celtic inspired themes based upon the world in which we live. There's introductory and background material, along with group leader's notes, and the individual studies are designed so that they can be printed off on two sheets of A4 (so very green and economical!)

The material is only available currently as an ebook (until I can find a publisher!) but is designed to be very user-friendly and you're free to print copies for your Bible Study Group.

Listening to Whispers - Study Day Guide

The purpose of this guide is to enable a small group to make a spiritual journey, one which might make connections with the lives of early Christians from the first centuries AD in our land, often described as Celtic Christians, who met together to break bread, share their joys and fears, pray and sing in a country which was very different from that which we see today, where solitude was much easier to find and indeed sought out – a place and time to connect with their Creator.

The format of the study is to allow for a day where a group or church can gather together in fellowship for study, share a meal and maybe join together over a sharing of the bread and wine of the Eucarist.

There are 4 studies/workshops and associated resources, including leader's notes and a form of liturgy for opening and closing the day to help you get the most out of the experience. The material is presented as a .pdf in A4 format to allow for ease of photocopying.

Format of the day is as follows:

Opening Worship
Session 1 - A sense of place
Session 2 - A sense of space
Fellowship Meal
Session 3 - A sense of connection
Session 4 - A sense of journeying
Closing Worship

(Leader's notes are enclosed for the sessions)
