Brian Knowles

Are you terrified at the prospect of opening or closing services with prayer? Here are guidelines to help you if you are called upon. ONE OF the most mind-shattering occasions to many men in God's Church is their first time to be called upon to lead in an opening prayer before the congregation. Some actually live in FEAR of being called upon! A few have been known to skulk deliberately in the shadows of obscurity hoping to avoid notice. Others will sit behind larger people in order to "escape" being called upon. Grown men have been found trembling and quaking at the prospect of being asked to lead an opening prayer. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
