--- Quote from: Becky ---I remember my church participating in that. We'd have a special service where we'd hold hands in a hugh circle and go from person to person... I was a teenager then and don't remember its impact on me..

I do remember the "meet you at the pole" day where us highschool (or any school) students, teachers, administrators would circle arount the flagpole before school and pray for things..

I have to admit that I would often be thinking about the "sinful" type of students that didn't participate and how I was better. I am ashamed  :oops:

Will I got kicked out of a church, when I was in high school. Instead of doing a group prayer they should do a Communion instead. Sure communion is a thing of milk, but it is in a way a group prayer.

It is a simple ritual, that symbolizes the union between Jesus the church and the participants. It a thing of milk because it something simple even a child can understand. If it is not at it heart a group pray then what is it.  I see it a lot like being The Lord's Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "This, then, is how you should pray: `Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
