An idea
I have just come from leading a Friday lunchtime prayer meeting. It lasts for about 45 minutes, and is attended by a group of people who often pray together. How to keep it fresh? Sometimes it is good to have topics which ‘open up’ the praying by capturing the imagination – which is what I did today. Using the four cards pictured below we prayed about
- Hearts – the people and things we love
- Spades - those areas of church and working life where we dig in
- Clubs – clubs, groups and societies inside and outside the church where we play a part
- Diamonds – the cutting edge where the church meets the world.
These simple topics released a steady flow of prayer. Feel free to steal and adapt…
