Part of a pastor's role in the community is to pray publicly. The pastor is often the official "prayer" 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 nonbelievers present. In addition to the prayers in this book, there are brief setting descriptions and Scripture references. These prayers can be used with little or no adaptation.
