Well, for the most part the folks I meet up with are Charismatic or lean that way. They tend to pray for things like lost items, jobs, government, revel and personal requests given by the folks who attend. No one talks in tongues or pretends to have a word of “prophesy.” The fellas tend to be overly emotional, the women tend to be strong leaders, choosing the scripture reading and being committed to attending. The person reading scripture starts to pray for the items on our prayer list, everyone bows their heads and we pray. Just pray from the heart. The words seem to flow pretty well, it doesn’t sound scripted at all, and the Holy Spirit of God really lifts us as we pray. The words just seem to have power, it’s a powerful thing to be in unison, having the Holy Spirit work in us to pray. It’s similar to cooperate worship but less formal.
That has been my experience so far.

I personally don't attend any. Not because I think they are bad, early believers prayed together often, but just because there are not any reformed ones around me, and the ones I have gone to people where praying for God to find this unmarried couples a home. I couldn't agree with the prayer.

I would say most of the folks that attend are baptistic, only leaning toward the charismatic stuff, most from from Baptist churches. The church I'm a member of has prayer meetings.

Most Baptist churches I was familiar with while growing up had regular Wednesday evening Prayer Meetings. IIRC, there was a short sermon and a hymn or two, then lots of prayer time with different people leading prayer as they felt led.
