"Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, decieving your own selves." --James 1:22
Place: United Methodist Center, UNT campus, Denton
Here is what usually happens, though we are always open
to the Spirit's leading and these plans are not concrete:
1.) Get together and fellowship (9:00)
2.) The Scripture (or topic) for the evening is announced (9:05)
3.) A time of optional confession of sins takes place
4.) Prayer for forgiveness and for the Lord to bless the reading of His Word
5.) If no one feels convicted otherwise, we proceed to the selected Scripture or
topic
6.) Scripture is read, with no interuptions. We usually take turns in reading a few verses per person
7.) A brief commentary by the one who selected the Scripture
8.) Open discussion/debate
9.) Prayer requests and praise reports are taken
10.) Open prayer and praise time
11.) Meeting adjourns
12.) Opportunity to seek counsel, prayer and advice one-on-one
