Sunday, June 28, 2009 Ground Breaking

Oh Great Spirit, whose breath gives light to the world, and whose voice is heard in the soft breeze, we need your strength and wisdom. Cause us to walk in beauty, and give us eyes ever to behold the red and purple sunset. Make us wise so that we may understand what you have taught us. Help us to learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. Make us always ready to come to you with clean hands and steady eyes; so when life fades, like the falling sunset, our Spirits may come to you without shame.
Native American Prayer offered by Janalee Moquin
