WE always have preservice prayer. Some pry in the sanctuary and some in the fellowship hall or a class room. But prayer is very much encouraged before every service.
If not many come early to pray then when service started prayer request will be read and everyone will be asked to find a place to pray and then we will go on with service.
Is is just me or has anyone noticed that more and more people war against any kind of rules. is it just a spirit of our day or what? examples, school kids, parents and kids against teacher rules. Church members against any rules, Nation against conservative rule, kids against parents rule, wives against husband rule (of any kind) worker against any corporate rule.
Not trying to stir the pot just seeing a very disturbing trend that is not letting up. Where will that leave my grandchildren. To me it just a strong foothold for the enemy. But then, who am I?
Yes I agree, that there is a mindset among many that, you can't tell me what to do, you are not my boss. My youngest child tried that against the school bus driver when she was about 5 years old. She told her that, you can't tell me what to do, you're not my mama. Needlesss to say mama set her straight. And I also taught her that she would respect those in authority and the people that looked out for her safety. Be it parents, school bus drivers, teachers, police officers, etc. And when she got older that included her Sunday School teacher and Pastor.

I was just wondering how many Apostolics in here, in your churches, do you have pre-service prayer that is manditory for the born again saints in your church?
Yes.. At our Church it suppose to be manditory if your being used.

In other words, you must be seen in the prayer room before church before you are considered to be used in any way as a volunteer. It's all about appearances! Look as I tell you and be where I tell you.
