Rotary Prayer
Colesville Rotary hosted a picnic for local seniors to join us for a meal and some fellowship at Cole Park on 9/11/19. A moment of silence was observed in honor of the day and its tragic memories….then the poem below was our invocation in honor of the more joyous intentions of the evening.
God
Made mankind
To thrive outdoors
Among the woods and hills:
Picnics, happy gatherings,
Burgers on the grill!
Through nature’s meadows,
Paths and parks,
With just a gentle breeze,
We humans love
To share a meal
Beneath the sheltering trees.
This week
We use the vast outdoors,
And let our cares unwind,
Where friendly neighbors gather
With fellowship in mind.
We thank the Lord
For all the cooks
Who filled this grand array
Of gastronomic specialties
Right here on our buffet!
We pray for hands
That made the food
And all who come to share…
May it reinforce the message
That we serve
Because we care.
Amen.
