Let’s bow our heads and place ourselves in the presence of the Lord.

(Pause
for a few seconds.)

Dear Lord, we stand before you in humble prayer before we start with this
program our first card and recognition day.

We realize that without your blessings we would not able to succeed with the
plans we have for this activity. Bestow your grace and divine wisdom to all of
us present here, so we could cooperate and enjoy camaraderie and love for
the greater glory of your name.

Bless also those we have left behind in our homes. May you grant them peace
and happiness as they go about their activities.

Bless people around the globe that they may enjoy peace and the goodness
of your love.

We ask all these through your mighty name, amen.
