Methodist Prayer Handbook 2017-18: contributions

The 2017/2018 Handbook will be entitled 'Jesus the First and Last' and based on celebrating the Jesus of history, the Christ of faith and our cosmic Lord; the first word and the last word, which has not yet been spoken. This title comes from two hymns, 'Jesus, the First and Last', by Charles Wesley and 'This, this is the God we adore', by Joseph Hart.

Contributions of prayers are invited: these should not exceed 120 words or 12 lines and must be your copyright. Shorter prayers and prayers for specific themes or countries are more likely to be used.

More information, and how to submit. The deadline for submission is Thursday 12th January 2017.
