Part of a pastor’s role in the community is to pray publicly. The pastor is often the official ‘pray-er’ at all kinds of community events–the high school football game, the opening of the new grocery store, the county school board meeting, kindergarten graduation–to name a few. But the pastor must also pray knowing that there are believers (of many persuasions) and non-believers present. This book will contain sample prayers for many civic functions that can be used with little modification.
