Inside, the area is perfectly clean and well tended, without seeming either sterile or abandoned. A table by the door has a stack of pamphlets (one of which is open to reveal a small map of the area). Out of a nearby inner door, a young person walks up to you, smiling.
"Welcome to the Christian Prayer Group. We have many rooms and many purposes here. We've a music room with a few songs you may enjoy (although we're always expanding our selections), a social hall with doughnuts and soft drinks, a private prayer chapel for anything we wish to take before the Lord, a sanctuary for worship, and an advisement center for those seeking spiritual assistance. Look around, make yourself at home. I'm part of the Council, and I'm available for anything you may need. Please, be welcome; all are welcome in the house of the Lord."
A sign hangs on the wall above the table.

Rules
1. Be respectful to others, to the moderators, and first and foremost, be respectful to the Lord our God.
2. Do not spam in any thread.
3. Do not create repeat threads; they will be locked by any Moderator and deleted within 48 hours.
4. Swearing and verbal abuse will not be tolerated; quoting someone or something is an exception, but it is asked that you put it in * after the first letter.
5. Complaints about others must be taken to the Advisement Center or to a Moderator immediately; do not take matters into your own hands.
6. Quoting a source of information, such as the Bible, is acceptable, but at least one-fourth of the post must explain how it relates to the subject at hand. Otherwise, it will be considered spam.
7. Vanity is not acceptable. No one wants or needs to hear about how great someone is; the only exception to this is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, for He is the only one worthy of praise.
8. New threads are acceptable. There is a limit of three per non-moderator member. When the limit is gone over, that person has the option as to what thread will be deleted. If a thread has been inactive after one week, it will be locked, and after three days it will be deleted.
9. If a Mod has locked a thread, do not post any new information about it in other threads; instead, PM the Mod asking him/her if they may unlock it so you may post the information.
Any violation will first result in a public warning. After the warning, the violater will be given three chances. The moderators will make note of each offense. After three strikes, the violater will be banned for two weeks. Any more disruptions when the violater will result in being banned for no less than one month. Beyond that will result in six months per violation. Moderators will make a compromise if the violater immediately apologizes to those they have offended; this will give you five chances instead of the standard three.
