Prayer
Almighty God, by whose grace and goodness we have been abundantly blessed, by whose standards we are called to live, and by whose summons we are called to serve, we gather again for this opportunity to fulfill the obligations and opportunities we have as Rotarians. For food and friendship, we now offer thanks, and for the relationships we have with each other as together we pursue the avenues of service in the spirit of our Four-Way Test. Amen.
Shower Power Donations
Let’s help our friends at Shower Power out. They are in need of bottled water, weekend travel bags, men's shoes sizes 10-14, men's paints sizes 30-34 and non-perishable food items with a pop-top. Bring the items to our meeting Tuesday and we will deliver them.
