Weekly Prayer

Prayer in large groups is so important for modeling prayer and making it become a normal part of any gathering of the Christian community.  Spend time praying as a group praising God for who He is and what He has done.  Spend time in worship as a whole group enhancing God's reputation and offering a sacrifice of blessing to Him. Remember worship is just not singing but a lifestyle.

Recommended Resources

If you are blessed with the ability to lead worship you probably already have resources to do so. For the rest of us, we have choices: recruit some one else, iWorship, Reading Psalms, Popcorn Prayers of Thanksgiving, A Wall of Praise Creations, and any other way you can get your whole group to praise God together.
