Prayer Church Services are conducted by one or more ministers of the Church, usually led by a senior minister, and assisted by novice ministers. Prayer Services are structured, with an order of service derived from Christian tradition. The Service typically consists of: Invocation: The Opening Blessing, often including the Lord’s Prayer Candle Lighting Ceremony Meditation: A short guided meditation that allows people to be more present and aware. Message: The lecture by the minister on a spiritual topic that is food for thought. Offertory: This is often a miracle story or a story about creativity. It is not required; however; if people want to give a donation they can do so at this time. Benediction: The Final Blessing of the service, and invitation for people to take the Sacred with them in daily life. |
