Planning the hour

Most prayer meetings last about an hour. Guests arrive, offer flowers, sit for prayers or music, and meet the family. If there will be speeches or readings, tell us so the timing can allow for them.

Common questions

Can the prayer meeting be held at home instead?

Yes. Many of the same arrangements — seating, flowers, photo display and artists — can be made at home.
