Sharing in prayer in the Sunday service

• Obtain consent from congregant.  Permission to share something in the caring corner is often obtained through our Caring Listener check-ins.  
• Request first and last names of people being mentioned, as well as preferred language. If someone says “please name my grandmother in the prayer,” ask for her name and clarity on language.
• Keep it brief. The prayer is not a place to share extensive detail or make announcements. It is a place to communally hold people with loving care.  More detail can be shared in Caring Corner of the newsletter
• Create an Active Pastoral Prayer note in PCO:. All Active Pastoral Prayer notes will be placedshared in the Caringnext Cornerpastoral prayer in the Sunday service unless otherwise indicated
