Prayer
Having found our way to this familiar place, O God, and to the familiar format of the fellowship we cherish, we are grateful that amid change and uncertainty in life, there is also a comforting sameness about much in human experience. For that we give thanks. Give us wisdom and the will to wield that hammer with confidence and courage in personal and business realms, and in all that is committed to us as Rotarians. Strengthen us for service by food now provided. Enrich our togetherness by reminders of our mutual identity and responsibility as servants in the world. In the name of the greatest Servant of all. Amen.
