God of ages, we praise you for all your servants who, having witnessed to you on earth, now live with you in heaven, remembering especially before you Brother Roger of Taize. Keep us in fellowship with them until we meet with all the faithful in the joy of your kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.This was said during our evening eucharist last night. I assume that Larry improvised a little. Larry is a Covenant minister, and when he serves at the altar, he uses the covenant book of worship. The footnote from this prayer states that the prayer is from the Book of Common Wroship:Provisional Services, 1966. Very cool. The Covenant uses a great many worship resourses to formulate its own.

Posted by tripp at August 22, 2005 10:17 AMActually no improvisation, this is one of the recomend prayers at the conclusion of the Holy Communion I liturgy. I was myself a little surprised and quite pleased to find it there. I may be rare but by no means am I a complete anomoly for the Covenant.
We are a strange bunch and not easy to pigeon hole. Even though we try to as often as not attempt to pigeon hole ourselves, we do something like this which just throws all the labels out the window. Its what allows me to remain Covenant and do what I do.
