Seventy Five leaders from all over Scotland met together in Calderbank in the Motherwell Diocese at the end of October 2003 for a leaders' day organise by the National Service Team of Scotland. Almost all the dioceses were represented. The main input of the day was given by NST chairman, Tom Mullen and, continuiing from the last such day in April, he called the leaders of the prayer groups back to basics. He encouraged core groups to pray together and prepare for the meetings they were running and also to review the meetings afterwards to be aware of what had been said at the meeting. It was important to ensure that prayer meetings didn't simply become gatherings where people just came together but that they were faaithful to the call to bring Baptism in the Holy Spirit to the Church and to reach out to others.
The day concluded with a powerful time of prayer over the leaders of all the different dicoeses and everyone was given words and prophecies and scriptures to meditate on. Steve Lavery, Fom the Dunkeld Diocese commented, "It was a very powerful and unifying time and we had a lot to think on."
