All Hallows Evening Prayer is a service of worship in the evening for all pilgrims on the journey to the heavenly city.
Arrow prayers are one of the ways that we can pray for ourselves and others. On her blog Beautifully Broken, Laurie Hampton of offers this description of arrow prayer:
“Arrow prayers are quick, one-sentence prayers that you can shoot off amid any life situation. These prayers are useful when you are in the middle of a crisis, problem, or daily activity. They can also be prayers of thanks or praise when we are delighted with God.”
She cautions that they are no substitute for regular prayer times, but they do help us keep our attention focused on God’s presence throughout the day.
Arrow prayers can be sent winging to the throne of grace in a breath and take but a second or two to pray. The seventeenth century Anglican poet-priest George Herbert, when he was preaching a sermon, would punctuate his sermons with these short prayers, beseeching God that his congregation would benefit from what he had just said in his sermon.
Like all forms of prayer, arrow prayers are means of grace through which God works invisibly in us, invigorating, strengthening, and confirming our faith.
The Scripture reading for this Sunday evening is Colossians 3:12-17 The New Life in Christ
The homily is titled, “God’s Handiwork.”
The dismissal song is Marty Haugen’s “We Are God’s Work of Art.” Scored for choir, assembly, keyboard and guitar with two C instruments, it is available from GIA Publications.
