Take Our Moments and Our Days is a four-week cycle of morning and evening prayer services prepared for the period in the church year between Pentecost and Advent. The services focus on the teaching and ministry of Jesus: the Lord's Prayer (week one), the Beatitudes (week two), Jesus' parables (week three), and Jesus' miracles (week four). The prayer services are designed for use by small groups of families, although they are suitable for individuals as well.
This second volume is for the seasons of the Christian year (Advent through Pentecost). Its distinctive Anabaptist flavor is evident in the predominance of Jesu'' voice, space for communal reflection on Scripture, and the choices of Bible readings-it offers a way of prayer that lets the voice of Jesus pervade the whole day.
Eighteen hymns popular with Mennonites on the subjects of "the gathered body of God's people, the nurturing aspects of community and song, the centrality of the person and work of Jesus Christ, and the life in which soul and body cannot be separated."
