<< When my church has prayer request time, it take a good 5+
   minutes just to go through all the request.  That doesnt even include
   the prayer or annointing of anyone who comes forward.  When that
   time comes, you can count at least 8-10 people coming forward. >>

Our pastor asks everyone with a special request to raise their hand and 
God knows what we are praying for...takes about 5 seconds...

We restrict testimonies to night service only...visitors usually don't 
come then and "we" understand long-winded testimonies.

At our Illinois Council meeting one time, a brother was testifying a bit 
too long, so the praise conductor started singing an appropriate 
song.."He's done so much for me, I cannot tell it all"
