Morning Prayer


In the Episcopal Church, Morning Prayer is a daily devotional service focused on prayer, readings, and reflection. It’s a shorter service than a Eucharist (communion service) and can be used for personal prayer or as a communal service to begin the day.

The Book of Common Prayer provides a structure, but Morning Prayer can also be adapted for individual use.
