Prayer
Divine Creator and Sustainer of all that is, we turn aside from things which ordinary occupy out attention to enjoy this interlude of Rotarian fellowship. We are grateful for this and all opportunities to mingle and converse with like-minded-colleagues. Be with each of us in our personal and family experiences and continue to bless us as a Rotary family. Thank you, Lord for food to eat, work to do and love to share. Bless our fellowship as together we seek to serve others. Amen.
