Heavenly Father, we join together to lift up this meeting to You and ask that in Your grace it would be a useful, fruitful and productive time together.
We pray that we will be united in purpose, maintain our focus on what is important, and that we would make good use of our time, gifts and resources, as we come before You to seek Your direction and will.
Give each one of us wisdom and grace during this time together, and may we look to Jesus to guide our thoughts, direct our discussions and influence our decisions, and may He alone be glorified in all that we say and do today. This we ask in the name of Jesus,
Amen.
