We launched our Sunday “prayer corner” nearly three years ago, only the elders taking turns being the primary contact. A year and a half ago, we started a midweek prayer group. It actually took us a while to have this same thought as today’s exhortation. Today, our deacons lead the prayer corner with other volunteers, and midweek is facilitated by volunteers. (We elders still participate in both! I rarely make the prayer meeting due to youth group being at the same time.)
Pray for congregational prayer.
