For everyone who loves liturgy and its ability to empower the people of God, here is an invaluable collection of material that will bring a new joy and energy to Eucharistic worship. Samuel Wells and Abigail Kocher present a range of Eucharistic prefaces, one for each Sunday and major holy day of years A, B & C, together with a range for special occasions.

Aiming to reflect the many dimensions of Christian life, each one is rich in Biblical allusion and seasonal resonance that reflect the scripture readings of the day and the time of year. Rather than using abstract theological concepts that fit all occasions, these new prayers are full of vivid, concrete imagery that will help make Eucharistic worship a focused, fresh and engaged time of new discoveries and greater engagement with God.

Over 10 years on from its original publication, this new edition features 12 new prayers tied to special Sundays more recently added to the Church of England’s calendar, or to reflect pastoral moments in the life of the parish, including:

• Racial Justice

• Safeguarding

• Women’s Ministry

• Homelessness

• Healing

• Neurodiversity

• Pride
