Prayer:
Almighty God, we are grateful for the autumn blessings garnered from the world of nature. In the familiar context of Rotarian fellowship we pray that beyond camaraderie and the details of club business, we will gain a fresh awareness of the power we have to do good, to bring help and hope to those in need of those gifts. Thank you, God, for life and all its blessings, for food prepared for us today, and for friendships we cherish. Amen.
