This prayer activity works very well with larger groups that can split into subgroups.

Psalm 119 has 22 stanzas, each with an eight-pack of verses.  In Hebrew, each verse in a stanza begins with the same letter.  The whole psalm celebrates the Law of the Lord.  Each subgroup will be assigned specific stanzas to read aloud and then pray through.  The verses lend themselves readily to thanksgiving, praise, and supplication. 

Start by allocating stanzas to groups of three or four people.  You could say, “Group One, work with Aleph through Gimel.”  Since most people probably will not have the Hebrew alphabet memorized, you probably want to assign “the first three stanzas.”  For clarity, you also want to give verse numbers for each group.

You may want to bring everyone back into a large group and ask for brief sharing of findings from the scripture or from the prayer time.  If so, let everyone know at the beginning.  Let the small groups know how much time they have together and then how much time you will spend in the larger group.  With a one-hour prayer time at consistory, we would expect small groups to pray forty minutes, the large group sharing to last ten minutes, and ten minutes would be taken up with instructions and movement.
