Prayer
O God of all creation, Designer of the natural order in which the phenomenon of growth gives beauty and excitement, we are grateful that in the spere of human affairs and organized structures, growth is also a desirable and anticipated experience. Having entered this month of August with its special emphasis on Membership Growth and Extension, we are aware that where growth does not prevail, there is lack of vibrant health. Accept our thanks for the food and friendship we enjoy today, and for opportunities to serve awaiting us beyond this meeting. Amen.
