- The box that starts with "Leader" is for the leader to initiate a new prayer subject.
- The bullet point "*" is the prayer item that everyone will participates in.
- Instead of sharing what God did for you, tell God and we will give thanks with you.
- Instead of sharing your prayer request, tell it to God and we will pray with you.

Now I will add tow more rules to keep in mind...
- While reading Scripture, if someone asks a questions, the Leader should say "That's a good question. We will discuss it after this prayer session."
- This is not a Bible study. The reading of the Bible during the prayer session is to hear from God and increase our faith to pray. If you have a comment about Scripture, tell it to God and we will worship with you.

We will begin by making supplication to the Lord together from the Book of Common Prayer #7.
Notes
All together, Book of Common Prayer #7
All Together
ALMIGHTLY God, hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto Thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in Thy Name thou wilt grant their requests; Fulfill now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of Thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of they truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.

Prayer Principle: When we all say Amen it means we agree with Christ's words. "If two of you shall agree, it shall be done".
