Prayer
O God of amazing grace and goodness, as we gather again for fellowship and pursuit of our reasons for being Rotarians, we give thanks for blessings received since last we met. We offer thanks for food once again provided for us, and for conversational interchanges about these tables. Rekindle in us a sense of purpose in life, in the community, and in this club. We pray that the work of our officers will prosper, to the end that our service in the community and in the world may be enhanced. Amen.
