      Let’s Talk PRAYER

      Jun 24, 2022

      We pray for a variety of reasons: it is a form of serving God (Luke 2:36-38) and obeying Him (Phil 4:6-7). We pray to demonstrate our faith in God, but most importantly, because Jesus did it. Prayers not prayed will be prayers unanswered. If the Syri

      A note on using this Common Worship EPUB edition

      This Common Worship eBook is designed for use on any device able to read EPUB electronic books, such as an iPad using iBooks, or a Nook or Kobo eReader.

      The following notes on navigating this publication on an eReader may be helpful, bearing in mind that using a prayer book is likely to be quite different to the experience of reading a novel or similar.

      Finding your way around easily

      ♦  The Contents list contains links to each section of the book.

      ♦  You can access the Contents list from any section in the book by clicking on the underlined main heading.

      ♦  You will also find underlined cross-reference links – e.g. from a service to the text of The Lord’s Prayer. Click on the underlined ‘here’ to go to The Lord’s Prayer. When you have finished reading The Lord’s Prayer, press the Back button to return to the section you have just left.

      ♦  Selecting the Menu will also give you the option to search the text for a particular word or phrase.

      Personalizing your Common Worship eBook

      ♦  You can bookmark particular sections to mark a place to which you want to return (in much the same way as you might use a ribbon in a printed liturgical book). Click on the bookmark icon in the menu bar.

      ♦  You can also add a note or highlight a particular section with a note, which may be helpful when planning worship or studying. Check the user guide for your device/eReader application for how to do this.

      The Outline Order for Funerals

      For Notes, see here.

      The Gathering

      1    The coffin may be received at the door by the minister.

      2    Sentences of Scripture may be used.

      3    The minister welcomes the people and introduces the service.

      4    A tribute or tributes may be made.

      5    Authorized Prayers of Penitence may be used.

      6    The Collect may be said here or in the Prayers.

      Readings and Sermon

      7    One or more readings from the Bible is used.

      Psalms or hymns may follow the readings.

      8    A sermon is preached.

      Prayers

      9    The prayers usually follow this sequence:

      ¶    Thanksgiving for the life of the departed

      ¶    Prayer for those who mourn

      ¶    Prayers of Penitence (if not already used)

      ¶    Prayer for readiness to live in the light of eternity

      Commendation and Farewell

      10  The dead person is commended to God with authorized words.

      The Committal

      11  The body is committed to its resting place with authorized words.

      The Dismissal

      12  The service may end with a blessing.

      If the Funeral Service takes place within a celebration of Holy Communion, the material on pages 282–290 in Common Worship: Pastoral Services is followed for the Liturgy of the Sacrament (see also here).

      The Funeral

      ¶    Pastoral Introduction

      This may be read by those present before the service begins.

      God’s love and power extend over all creation. Every life, including our own, is precious to God. Christians have always believed that there is hope in death as in life, and that there is new life in Christ after death.

      Even those who share such faith find that there is a real sense of loss at the death of a loved one. We will each have had our own experiences of their life and death, with different memories and different feelings of love, grief and respect. To acknowledge this at the beginning of the service should help us to use this occasion to express our faith and our feelings as we say farewell, to acknowledge our loss and our sorrow, and to reflect on
