Let us give thanks

A prayer for use at the General Assembly Annual Meetings, 2022

Let us give thanks for:

The meeting organisers

The secretaries and letter writers

The minute takers

The small-change counters

The safeguarding officers

Those website wonks and brave Zoom managers

The article writers

The flower arrangers

The meeters and greeters

The biscuit providers

The gloved washer-uppers

Those who dust, mop and vacuum

The chair stackers

The car-lift givers

The hand holders

Those with a spare tissue for tears,

And the keyholders, there long before you arrive and long after you leave.

May we give thanks and praise for all those working to make this our world a better place.

Amen
