Did anyone else’s Fundy church do the prayer room thing?  On Sunday and Wednesday evenings, just before the service, men and women would gather in separate rooms (naturally!) to pray.  I never went.  It seemed kind of pointless when we did so much praying during the service.  Several years ago, we were at some in-laws’ Fundy church, and my SIL kept trying to get me to go to prayer room with her.  I thought it would be awkward so I refused.
Just wondered if anyone else was familiar with this concept.

My previous two IFBs did prayer rooms before the Wednesday service. I don't think it's a bad thing, though, except that it was sometimes used as a way to "elevate holiness" or whatever. Some people genuinely did it for prayer, but some also did it as a way of being holier than others. They would also compel others to join and be all shame-y if they didn't.

My current church has a prayer room, but it's meant for quiet, personal prayer. People sign up for different time slots. They don't do 24/7 for security reasons, but it's available most of the time. People can submit prayer requests, and the intercessors have access to them in the room. The room is also locked behind card access, and intercessors have to go through training to ensure privacy for those who make requests. We are not allowed to approach someone about their request or talk about their request to anyone else.
