PICTURES from December 20, 2008 MEETING
Officers Table
Lord God Almighty,
We come to You at this special time of the year, as our thoughts turn to that night long ago when mankind first heard the angelic wish, "Peace on earth, goodwill to men." We ask, Lord, for our earthly abode to be more nearly like Your heavenly abode: a place having true and lasting peace without wars or conflicts, and also a place where there is love without any hate or prejudice.
Lord please bless each of us and our families so that love fills our hearts, joy fills our spirits, and our souls are filled with the peace that only You can give.
We thank You, Lord for all who have died, been wounded, or served our country protecting and defending the freedoms, families, friends, and values we hold so dear. We ask You, Lord, to hold in Your hands and shield all those serving our beloved country on distant shores especially those in harm's way. Please bring them safely home to their family and friends.
God Bless America.
AMEN.
