Gather “tools” for the service: oil, Kleenex, list of church resources and encouragement booklet to send home with those prayed for

Set up prayer cells at front of sanctuary. (Three circles of five chairs. In each group there will be a pastor, elder and parish nurse). Note: We have also used kneeling benches with the pastors, etc standing behind each.
