==Note==
*The style of the prayer time varies, some common methods are:

**Pray together in silence or say it out load
**Pray based on Bible passages i.e. read a passage and pray about it and repeat, for more information please google or [http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!VeedlZiTFxl1wkmHlM.INQ--/article?mid=2205 read ]
**Follow the ACTS - Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication
**"Popcorn" ie. whenever one is moved to pray and one designated person to close praying in turn for a designate individual. Short prayer is the key! can "pop" more than once
**Breaking off into smaller prayer groups,
**Praying in turn for a designated individual (ex. person to your left)
*Some things that were done in the past:

**Worship during prayer meetings (1-2 songs)
**Sharing about the importance of prayer
**Read a passage in the bible
**Sharing about God's leading in your life (challenges, thanksgiving things etc.
**''Coordinating joint prayer events with other CCF or Christian campus groups (One year, the prayer coordinators met ''monthly from all three CCFs and there was a joint prayer meeting once a month between the three groups as well'' as an all campus prayer meeting once a term. This ended up being slightly overw''helming for the prayer coordinator at the time, but may be something to consider again in the future.)
