In observance of Kiwanis Prayer Week (May 7-13), the East Geauga Kiwanis club created this unique website whereby the public may honor family and friends serving as U.S. military throughout the world. The annual observance, which began in 1980, provides Kiwanis clubs with an opportunity to promote religious activities throughout the community, as well as recognizing individuals for their outstanding contributions to spiritual welfare. The first of Kiwanis' six official objects is to give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life. Please take a moment of silence in recognition of our troops serving through out the globe. Honor a soldier in service to our country by submitting name and service location. Just scroll down the soldier/location box below/left and you will find the text-boxes within which to place the information. We ask for the Soldier Name and Where stationed. Then click submit. Please click the submit button only once. The information will be posted instantly. You will find your post at the bottom of the list. Just scroll down. Note that the program will create [ ] brackets around location. Thank you.
The Soldier Prayer: O God, we know you care about each of your children, around the globe. We praise your loving kindness, your merciful grace. This day we lift to you our troops. So far from home and family, they do their best to serve with faithfulness and honor. Hold them tightly, Holy One. Give them courage. As they endure harsh conditions, loneliness and great danger, let them know your nearness. Help them feel your love, and comfort the families left behind. Also, we pray for the end of war. We pray for your strength, your wisdom and your reconciliation. That the serving men and women of every nation might be at home, wrapped in their families, we seek your peace, here on earth, as in heaven. Creator, bless us all as we pray in your holy name. Amen.
