Representatives from Shower Power in Jackson, will be our guest speaker during the September 19th meeting. Shower Power is more than a shower.

Prayer:
O God, whose ways we sometimes only dimly understand, but whose love is brightly revealed, whose grace is broadly given, whose goodness flows to us in abundance, we acknowledge that we live within your overarching providence. We ask for help in fulfilling the expectations of us who are committed to serving others above ourselves. We offer thanks for food to nourish our bodies and for fellowship to refresh our relationships. And as we go about our task during the remainder of the day, keep us, we pray, in your protective and sustaining hands. Amen.
