Prayer Resources

Part 1 comprises a Prayer for the Nation and a form of intercession, both of which may be used in many different contexts including informal gatherings.

Part 2 collects passages of Scripture which can be used in services, informal gatherings, or as aids to Bible study. Part 3 includes proper texts for services, including Holy Communion.

Conversation Starters

Where people are inviting people to get together to talk over tea, these starting points on getting a conversation started may be helpful.

Both of these documents are supplied in both PDF and Word formats.

Downloadable Graphics

There are a range of downloadable cards, invitations and graphics which parishes can use to encourage their communities to pray for our nation and/or to gather together as a local community.

Please note that two versions of each file are provided.

  • Use the digital versions for posting online or printing on a desktop printer.
