# 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.
