Psalms: An Everyday Prayerbook is a six-week sermon series for Disciples preachers and congregations. The Psalms are at the heart of the Bible: ancient prayers and songs that can help us voice our grief or celebrate our joy. This series will help your congregation explore this everyday prayer book by focusing on a different aspect of the Psalms each week. It is undated and can be used between Easter and Pentecost, in the summer months, or any time that fits your worship schedule.

The Psalms have always been central to Christian preaching and worship — they are the language the tradition has used for lament, praise, confession, and hope across centuries. This series helps congregations recover that practice week by week, with each session drawing out a distinct dimension of the Psalms’ range and inviting the congregation into its particular kind of prayer. The downloadable resource includes scriptural material and guidance for building each week’s worship around a specific aspect of this ancient collection.
