Summary:

"...And serve you in unity, constancy, and peace ..." The Book of Common Prayer is filled with words clustered in groups of three, like this prayer from the Great Thanksgiving. In this workbook, you'll zoom in on six of these prayers to discover meaning, discern direction, and deepen your faith. Through guided discussion and reflection questions, you and your group will explore the roots of these words and prayers in Scripture and in your own experience.
