Bare Feet and Buttercups

A collection of resources for the summer period of Ordinary Time – prayers, stories, responses, songs, poems, reflections and meditations, written by Iona Community members, associates, friends and others. While offering resources for groups and individuals covering the weeks from Trinity Sunday to the Feast of the Transfiguration, including Father’s Day, Saints’ days and Lammastide, much of the material can be used at other times during the year as well.
It is a companion resource book to Eggs and Ashes: Practical & Liturgical Resources for Lent and Holy Week, Candles & Conifers: Resources for All Saints’ and Advent, Hay & Stardust: Resources for Christmas to Candlemas, and Fire and Bread: Resources for Easter Day to Trinity Sunday.

Ruth Burgess is also the author of Hear My Cry, Friends and Enemies and A Book of Blessings.

God of ripe plums
and meadowsweet
thank you for summer

Thank you for warmth
and beauty and wonder
thank you for life
