Opening
Prayer
Lord, as we begin a new year,
let us resolve to keep a promise,
seek out a forgotten friend, listen,
laugh, brighten the heart of a
child, encourage the young, appreciate
our elders, express our gratitude,
take pleasure in the beauty and
wonder of life, and speak your
love to others. Dear Lord, guide
us in the new year to grow closer
together in our families, in our
Units, in our world. Let us always
strive to bring peace to the world.
Let us live each day to the fullest.
For all the blessings of the year,
we give you thanks, O Lord. Amen |
