Crossfire Prayer Group

The Crossfire Prayer Group is a school club run by International Studies teacher Jeffrey Moger that meets weekly on Tuesday mornings at 7:10 AM. The club started roughly twenty years ago when two students approached him looking for a place to pray in school. While some may believe that a club centered around religion has no place in a public school environment, Mr. Moger firmly believes that students benefit from having a safe place to pray and pass their burdens off to a higher power. 

This is a tight knit yet inviting group of students who discuss the problems they are facing and then relate it back to the original text. This is a place where students can feel comfortable talking about their problems and not worrying about it going around. Moger explains, “It is a private group, though anyone can come.” They pray together for strength and guidance.

 While the club has thus far only had Christian members, Mr. Moger would like to make it clear that the group is open to students of all religions. While previous announcements have incorrectly labeled this as a Christian-only group, it has in fact been open to all religions from the start. In fact, Moger believes that his students could greatly benefit from interacting with people of other religions and learning about other beliefs. Anyone who would like to stop in and pray with the group is always welcome.

 While he acknowledges that it would certainly be a change to incorporate other religions, perhaps even a little uncomfortable for some, he says that “Awkwardness is okay, It’s okay to be uncomfortable in some situations.  It’s okay and we can get over [our different views] and I think everyone will benefit from that.”. 

For more information on the club, feel free to reach out to Mr. Moger in room 116 or stop by and check out a meeting any Tuesday morning at 7:10.
