Reverse Offering of Prayer
The church directory is taken and cut into slips with one household per slip. The slips are then put into the offering plate. At an appropriate time in the worship service, before the congregational prayer, the slips are distributed, making sure all of them are taken. During the congregational prayer, there is a time of silent prayer when everyone is encouraged to pray for the person(s) on their slip. You may want to encourage people to contact those for whom they prayed to let them know they prayed for them. It might possibly help them get to know someone they don't already know. Tell visitors that they may participate, or they can use the time to pray for someone in their home congregation.
