We just began a midweek worship service in my context. To try and give the service a different feel than the Sunday morning worship services, we decided to plant a few prayer stations throughout the sanctuary space. Seeing as the month of September come with changing leaves, back to school and lots of other changes, I decided to make the first set of prayer stations centered around the idea of transitions. At one station, participants are invited to choose and apple or leaf shape and write about a transition they would like God's guidance on. A big bulletin board is then available for the prayer requests to be hung on. We also encourage participants to respond to one another's prayers through the board as well.
A second transition themed-prayer station has a series of fall themed mazes available. Participants are encouraged to focus on a transition they would like God's guidance on as they work their way through the maze.
