Young people need to be nurtured and guided as we help them to understand the difference between simply saying prayers and praying and Katie Thompson, best-selling author of several valuable resources for young people including Common Worship Step by Step and Common Worship Footprints in Faith, has prepared this sensitively written collection of prayers that are ideal for use at assemblies, services of prayer or other gatherings which include young people, from the ages of 8 upwards.
There are 70 sets of prayers, divided into 38 themed sections. Each section has an introductory paragraph to set the prayers in context. They can be used as written, or easily adapted to address a specific situation. A useful index links the themes to the Sunday Gospels of the Common Worship Lectionary.
Intercessions for Young People is a Common Worship version of Let us Pray
