Group Prayer
JXCirrus Prayer has a special mode to make group prayer
easier. It is for those times when you might have a home
group, or discussion group, and you ask everyone if they have any
prayer points, and then you go around the group and pray.
Setting up the group
On the Main Window, press the
button. This opens the group
list screen.
To add a new group, press the
button. This will open the Group Edit dialog, which lets
you fill in the name of the group (and the default schedule for
group prayers). Fill in the name...
Lets assume you have a group set up now...
Adding people to the group
Once you have an empty group created, the next thing to do is add
people.
Click on the group in the Prayer
Groups List, and that will open up the Prayer
Group screen.
In the middle of this screen is a list, which usually shows people,
but is probably empty. Now you can add people to the
group. To add a person, press the
button to the right of the
list. This opens the Person
List dialog.
From the person list dialog, you can either select a person you have
created before (which you do by clicking on them), or you can add a
new person (but pressing the
button under the person list).
Keep adding people until you have everyone who belongs to the group.
Writing prayer points
So now you are about to start telling each other your prayer
points...
When you go around the group, click on that person's name in the Prayer Group screen. That
opens the Person Details
screen. From there, use the
button on that screen to add
new prayers. The Person
Details screen shows a list of all of that person's
prayers. If you want to re-pray a prayer that is already
in the list, click on the prayer - This will open the Prayer Details screen - From there,
click the "Pray Today" checkbox, and that prayer will be included in
the group prayer.
Once you have finished adding a person's prayers, press Done to go
back to the Prayer Group screen.
You can add prayers for people who aren't in the
group... Click on the
button - That will open
the Person List. From
there, you can click on a person - That will open the Person Details screen, and you can
add a prayer using the
button.
Praying
Once you have been round the group, and collected all the prayers,
you can now start the prayer session...
To do that, press the
button. This will will open the Group Prayer screen.
There are two ways to deal with prayers.
- If you want to pray a prayer, click on the prayer summary in
the list. That will open the Prayer View screen, where you can
see the details of the prayer. When you are
finished, press Done, and the prayer will be marked with a tick
in the list.
- If someone else prays a prayer, you can just press the
checkbox next the prayer to mark it as prayed.
Once the prayer session has finished, click Done to close the
prayer screen.
NOTE: The prayers you enter here go into your general list
of prayers that you pray each day.
