Small Group Prayer concept:
In that group of prayers, all facilitators will come to the stage together – they will go one after the other introducing the prayer and the time allotted, and will be quiet until the time to close that prayer…they will say a closing line, and the next facilitator will join them, introducing the next prayer focus, etc…until that segment is complete.
For Small Group Facilitators:
Please start them off by saying: “We would like to begin a segment of small group prayer. Please take a moment to join with your neighbor, or a few people near you. We will begin the prayer from the podium by leading into the prayer with the topic, and will give you a few minutes to pray about that specific issue with your group. We will close that prayer out from the podium, and will lead into the next issue to be covered. When the segment is finished, the last facilitator will close in prayer and say “Amen and Amen”. Join with us now in prayer…
“Housekeeping Announcements”:
- We do not have a scheduled intermission, and we invite those who need to get up and use the restroom or move about to do so at any time of the program.
- The concession stands are open for your refreshment needs, and there is a first aid/emergency station by the entrance gate.
- Only those who are facilitating the event are allowed on the field – we appreciate your cooperation.
