- Notes
- "[By] Deborah McCann".
- "In my work as a pastoral associate, I have seen how prayer can make or break the focus and effectiveness of a meeting. For that reason, it is important to tailor prayers to the needs of the group. I have assembled here a number of blessings geared to specific purposes, committees, or ministries, as well as longer prayer services (though even these should take not more than ten minutes of your meeting time). .... I encourage you to feel free to adapt these services to suit your particular situation or gathering. I've tried to keep the flexible to serve the greatest variety of groups". -- Intro.
