There are PowerPoint files available for the prayers of intercession, offertory and a blessing.
The background photos are of the Tynn Church
in Prague. Ann writes "In 1986 the Tynn church was dark, dusty and
neglected. Yet despite the air of neglect, people’s faith burned bright
as a small faithful number gathered for Communion. In 1996, it was
impossible to get inside; but through the glass doors, it was possible
to see that work was going on. In 2006, the work was complete. The air
of neglect had disappeared and the building looked loved and cherished."
