Methodist Prayer Handbook 2025/2026: Our Story, Our Song

From ancient times, communities have defined themselves by the stories they tell and the songs they sing about themselves. Our Story, Our Song calls upon the Methodist people to join in a soul expedition deep into the heart of our calling, journeying afresh into the story of grace and the vocation that God has placed upon us – learning to live, work, pray and play in ways both true to our roots and open to the presence of God in the songs and stories of others. Pray with Our Story, Our Song to discover: A Shared Story – exploring the richness of God’s love and grace to, with and for us in Christ, learning to live by hope for the future, and rediscovering our story by celebrating our roots. A Shared Harmony – responding by living in a way that draws others to bring their praise to Jesus and by longing and working for a world transformed. A New Song – sharing in a soul expedition as we journey with God’s Spirit to discover the new songs that God is inspiring within, among and around us. A New Chapter – rediscovering the gifts of testimony and storytelling as we commit ourselves to hear not only our own voices, but the voice of Christ amongst those who are marginalised, sharing stories of lament, hope, surprise, expectation and festal joy for opening a new chapter in our mission. Ideal for individual prayer, small groups or church devotions, this new-look Handbook offers: a broader variety of prayers, greater accessibility, easy-to-use prayer prompts, guidance to form your own prayers, QR codes and links to related online content.
