Club Assembly
Our club's annual Club Assembly will be held Tuesday, June 18th at St. Andrews Cathedral with the famous Holy Smokers preparing the meal.
Prayer
Gracious and loving God, we turn to you in these quiet moments, not with perfunctory prose in the guise of prayer but with sincere supplications of our minds and hearts. Caught up in the demands of business, the pressures of our professions, the expectations of others, and the quest for things, we allow the beauty of quiet moments to elude us and the deeper satisfactions of life to escape. We offer thanks for food to strengthen our bodies, for fellowship to strengthen relationships, and for commitments within the club to make us useful. We voice these petitions with the hope that they will be granted. Amen.
