I’ve used this loads of times for small groups in the dream network.

Spend the first half of the evening catching up with each other and discussing a project or initiative you’re all involved in. Then…

-Light a candle.
-Put on some chilled out music.
-Use a compline liturgy (severely pruned down if it’s as long and wordy as the common worship compline).
-When you get to the ‘intercessions’ part allow time for some sort of open prayer for one another and the stuff you’ve discussed.

btw I wasn’t a fan of the daily office at college, but I love this approach.
