Prayer
O God, by whose wisdom the phenomenon of parenthood and family has been established as the basis of a meaningful, stable society, we echo today the special tribute recently offered to mothers. Whether living or deceased, our mothers are remembered with affection and appreciation. Now, as we attend to the affairs of this club today, bless to our use the food provided and the fellowship within which it is enjoyed. We offer this prayer with a continuing sense of gratitude for all blessings bestowed upon us. Amen.

Update on Don
Don is a walking miracle! He was released from the ICU at UMMC to home Friday afternoon. He is resting at home and doing well considering what he went through for 2 weeks. He had to have 33
unites of blood during his hospital stay. Please continue to donate at MBS if you can. For those that can't donate, please donate to MBS directly. We all know that they are always in need of blood, so your help is appreciated. Don has a doctor's appointment at noon Tuesday while we are meeting. He will know after then what the gameplan is going forward. Please continue to pray for him and others that need them.
