meetings, that at least two meet
ings be held each year (if possible)
with groups from another congre-
cation, that prayer groups be
formed in each Guild and that each
group have a sister" group to be
held in prayer remembrance; and
that several purely social meetings
be held each year for the purpose
of fellowship and not for profit.
