Our Father who art in Heaven, here we are again with a mixture of old and new. Old friends and new ones, a seasoned staff as well as new staff members, an old institution in new surroundings with new furnishings and those already famous new chairs.
We ask this session for the comfort and stability of the old, yet the energy and excitement of the new to keep us going and growing in harmony and compassion. Thank You. Amen.
