Our Moments and Our Days
An Anabaptist prayer book
Arthur Paul Boers, Eleanor Kreider, John Rempel, Mary H. Schertz, Barbara Nelson Gingerich, editors
Co-published by Institute of Mennonite Studies and Herald Press
The new version of Take our moments and our days is a four-week cycle of prayers for ordinary time. Lying behind the prayers is a pattern of themes that are especially important in the Anabaptist tradition.
Take Our Moments and Our Days is a collection of morning and evening prayer services, the second phase of an ongoing prayer book project. The flexible pattern provides opportunities for silence, song, and reflection on scripture. Almost all the words in these prayers are adapted or taken directly from the Bible, and the words of Jesus are strikingly prominent. By using these texts, we internalize Jesus’ explicit teachings, concerns, warnings, comfort, and challenge.
