Online Prayer Meeting: Prayer Guide
When it comes to prayer meetings, either in person or online, I have found that having a guide like this with specific things to pray for is helpful. Especially for those who are new to an extended time of group prayer. Here is a prayer guide we are using in our prayer meetings in this season of our church's life. It can also be used as a tool to aid yourself or those in your congregation in their own private prayer. Feel free to use it and pass it out to those in your prayer meeting, if it is helpful.
