Kiwanis Prayer

Heavenly Father:

Let Kiwanis widen our circles of interest and

broaden our spheres of services.

Teach our members that we need not be rich to

be generous, especially with our time; that

service to others is the rent we must pay for the

space occupy; and that is not the talented by the

dedicated who serve You best. Amen
