Volunteer needed to coordinate the July prayer thread

[I Have A Dream]

If you get something from the monthly prayer thread, please think about volunteering to coordinate the thread for July. It really takes very little effort.

If you are interested in volunteering at some point but can't for July, please also reply here and state when you are interested in volunteering. (AZDemDist5 has already volunteered for later in the year after her move is completed. Thank you, AZDem!)

1. What do you have to do to coordinate this?

I have very limited computer skills, but is this something I could do?
If so, I could do it...

2. Cool!

Its easy, just write a post for July prayers and healing. Do it exactly the way you want. Thanks from me!

3. Yes, just as OhioBlues stated, it's basically coming up with an opening...

thread and then keeping the thread kicked so that it doesn't get too far down in the threads so that it can't be easily seen. (It will often be there on its own simply because people will be responding to it.) If you feel drawn to do so, you could also occassionally add something more to add additional energies to the thread. However, this certainly isn't required.

Here are the past threads to give you an idea of what's been done in the past. However, there is certainly no set way in which it must be done. The only thing that it should definitely have is the disclaimer statement to protect DU.

The only other thing that you'd need to do is close out the thread at the end of the month so that the next person can start the next month's prayer thread.

Thank you for considering doing this, NB!

4. Okay, count me in. I may need help finding an

appropriate prayer, but if I do, I'll just pm one of you, okay. Glad I can help.
I'll be off for a few days, then I'll be back online - see you then.

PS: Thank you all for your prayers - they really do help!
Love to all,
NB

7. NB, here's a wonderful site that has prayers from all over the world.

http://www.worldprayers.org/

I love to go there and "browse."

8. Yes! I think that I got my prayers from there also!

This is what I'd also recommend.

9. Sounds great, NB. We'll put you down for July.

By the way, I've been sending you energy all day today. (I had you on my calendar at work with a reminder every hour to send you energy! :hug:) I know that it will be a little while before you're back, but I hope that the surgery today went well!

5. I'd love to help at some point,

but since my semi crash on my 'puter I can no longer access really lengthy threads.

So once I get set up with a new laptop I'd be happy to volunteer but till then I'd be far more of a hindrance than a help.

6. Thanks, stella! We'll definitely keep you in mind for later...

when you get totally up and running again. I hope for your sake that it's soon!

10. I just want to express my gratitude

for all of you who've volunteered, and all of you who post. These threads are a joy and an inspiration to read. I love to read the prayers, join in on prayer for the requestors. These posts bring me great peace and the sense that I am not alone.

11. I think that there are many like you, Crowdance.

They may not post in the prayer thread, but they take an active part in it in other ways.

It also brings joy to my life as well. :hug:
