Opening a Gathering

Lesson 2 of 10 · About 12 minutes

Opening a Gathering

How do I call people to prayer without performing?

The invitation, the pause, the word “we,” and a prayer for what the gathering is for, all inside a minute.

Mary kneels among the apostles in a pillared church with her hands joined in prayer as the dove of the Holy Spirit appears above them and small flames rest on their heads.
