From
ancient times to modern day, many people seeking fellowship with their
heaveanly Father through prayer have used a string of knots, pebbles,
or beads on a cord to keep track of prayers they offered.
The
use of prayer beads gently enables us to think about our prayers and
consider the fact that we are in Gods presence. Touching our
fingers on each successive bead acts as an aid to keep our mind from
wandering while the rhythm of the prayers leads us more readily into
stillness of soul and communion with our heavenly Father.
The
A.C.T.S. Prayer Band is handmade of hemp with a sterling silver
cross bead, wooden invitatory and cruciform beads, and plastic weeks
beads. It can be worn as a daily invitation to fellowship with Abba
God. Click here for more information about
the tradition of Anglican prayer beads or Click

It is
the hope of this fellow pilgrim that this A.C.T.S. Prayer Band
will aid in drawing you into a greater comprehension of Our heavenly
father . . . That He is waiting with open arms to welcome you into
a deeper relationship with himself . . . through the practice of ordered
prayer.
