Our Dear Heavenly Father, it is with very grateful                            
hearts that we gather here today, knowing that we                              
can thank You for being a presence in our lives.                               
We thank You for granting us grace when we fall                                
short and mercy when we lack understanding. We                                 
thank You and acknowledge that You will never                                  
leave us alone. We ask for this continuing presence                            
in the lives of our families, our communities and                              
particularly the members of this body. We ask You                              
to continue to be the assurance that we need never,                            
even on our loneliest or darkest day, ever feel alone.                         
We ask You to continue that assurance in our lives                             
and to grant us all safety and love as we go through                           
the rest of this session. In Christs Name we pray.                             
                                               Amen.
