A characteristic feature of Methodism is its methodical structure and the provision of preaching and prayer meeting plans. The plans are essentially a diary of prayer and preaching appointments for preachers and other prayer and worship leaders working within a Methodist 'circuit', or defined groupings of chapels.

This particular prayer meeting plan is an early printed example showing the arrangements for the City Road and Spitalfields Circuit (today's Wesley's Chapel, City Road Circuit), in 1802. It is interesting - and characteristic of Methodism - that women were accepted and welcome to lead prayer meetings.
