Invocation

Please join me in the following prayer in order to reflect upon the accomplishments of those that have gone before us, those that will stand before you today, and those that will follow.

Let us pray….

Lord, as the Creator of all things,

We ask that You attend our congregation and bless those in attendance here today.

For they have made many sacrifices in order to arrive at this point in their lives.

We are grateful for their selfless service, and for the support of all those behind the scenes, without which their achievements would not have been possible.

I ask on behalf of those gathered here today that You grant them the wisdom and grace to make a difference wherever they may find themselves in the years to come.

And now, may You be pleased with what is done here today.

Thank you for your presence.

Amen!
