Hello friends,

Last year, a prayer group was started in the chat room. After a while, we stopped meeting.

Recently, interest has been expressed in starting a prayer group again.

For those who are interested, we will meet on Sunday evenings at 7 p.m. EST in the help area of the chat room, beginning Easter Sunday, March 23, 2008. We will meet each Sunday at the same time. There is no special membership or anything and everyone is welcome.

The prayer sessions are open to everyone of all faiths and will remain non-denominational with references to God only so that all believers of all religions feel comfortable and welcome.

Prayer and spirituality are wonderful tools in battling anxiety, stress and depression. Sunday night seems like the ideal time, as it will give us a good start to the week. Please join us.

God bless you all.
CC

Thank you CC! Can't wait!

I do hope and pray it becomes established and a blessing to all.

Good Luck and Best wishes and Many Blessings...

Thank you all for your enthusiasm. Hope you can join us.

CC, thank you so much for bringing the prayer group back......I love the idea that it is non-denomiational.....people of all faiths and beliefs coming together to praise God....and CC on a personal note, thank you for agreeing to lead the group with such love

I encourage anyone and everyone to join us tonite at 7:00 EST. in the help room

Love you all....

Thank you so much for this CC and Kath this will be a blessing to many of us. Prayer is so powerful and brings such peace to alot of us who right now peace may be hard to find. Not sure if I can make it in tonight b/c my kids will be here for dinner but I will try, if not I will see you next week for sure.
God bless you

I think the prayer group is a great tool for us to heal, we work on the mind to heal the body,and prayer will heal the soul and spirit. God Bless and happy easter.

CC,

What a wonderful prayer group last night! A great success! You did a great job as leader cc and I enjoyed it so much. I am so thankful for all who joined us and hope more will join us next week.

Angie

CC thank you for starting up the prayer group again. I am very sorry I could not lead it this time. Currently I'm involved in staying clean and sober through AA. Anyone who knows anything about AA knows that Spirituality is a very big part of staying on the right path. I will try to make it if I can however I do have a meeting on Sunday nights at 7:30. You have always handled the prayer group very well CC and I know you will do a great job. I would like to leave you all with a prayer I say all the time now perhaps you can incorporate it into your daily life it has helped me tremendously.

Heavenly Father I turn my life and my will over to You. Guide my steps along the path You have chosen for me. Show me Your will for me and give me the strength and the grace to carry that will out. Not my will but Your will be done.

Again thanks CC and good luck with the prayer group I think it is a great thing for everyone.

Hey Pops I'm so very proud of you for choosing sobriety... best of luck to you, friend...

...and thank you for sharing that lovely prayer
.....It truly touched me...

I too would love to be a part by are usually involved in our own church mtgs. or small groups on Sun. nites. If it does change or is even later, please let me know and I would like to be a part. Thanks for doing this CC to reach out to others.

Thank you all so much for your replies. I am open to meeting on different night, at a different time or adding another night if that would better meet people's schedules. I'm all ears to comments, suggestions and feedback.

Thanks again,
CC
P.S. God bless you John for starting this last year and best wishes as you make your journey to sobriety.

So sorry I missed out last night sounds like it was awesome. Being Easter I had my family for dinner but am so excited for next week. Let me know if anything changes,
God bless you all

That would be great even if you added another night....Who doesn't need prayer . Challenges are 24 hours a day....Please let me know if you would like to have a trial night and see. For myself Sunday evenings there are so many religious functions going on..But I would love to be a part of another night even if its just a trial night....

Blessings Always and thank you for bring this to a forum that is comfortable for many who do not leave this house and do not like to talk. This is a wonderful first step for them.

Just a note to say, Congradulations G-Papa John for choosing sobriety! I am sober 17 yrs and 2 mos and today. OH yeah, those meetings are so important-period.
My fav prayer:
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change
the Courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the diff.
Amen
It works if you work it-right?!
Also I see that nice hog in the pic and your pretty lady and is nice to see that pic for me. My late Husband and I rode alot-he rode for yrs. before we met and married. I rode the fender of the panhead til he got the shovelhead up and running-it was so nice to have a good seat! Esp. by that time I was pregnant with our miracle baby-our son. We even hosted a rally on land he inherited here in his home town-in NC. the last one we had 1000 pay at the gate and who knows how many who didn't. It was a family oriented rally named after my H nickname. It was a 3-4 day run.Loads of fun live music-vendors-games-you name it. He was the love of my life! It has been 5yrs.+ 7mos since the day God called him home. I am raising our 14 yr old son who is so much like him it ain't funny. I don't know how we would have come through to now w/out the help of some of his old brothers. The newspaper here wrote there were 100 Harleys in the funeral procession. One of the brothers rode my son on his bike to the cemetery-where the guys did some really nice stuff on there own that made the burial really special. The 1st memorial run was to get $ to help me on bills till I could see what we needed to do. They also paid a huge chunk of the funeral expense. My H was loved by sooo many people-who still miss him. I miss him everyday-I dream about him way too much. I cannot begin to tell you all that our son and I have been through since his passing. But, we have made it this far and he would be proud of us if he knows.
I am so glad to meet you on sev levels and will try to make Sunday Prayer Meeting this coming Sunday.
God Bless and if I can help any with the AA steps please let me know-you know that helping others is the way we stay sober-huh?
Always,
Deb ^J^
