Appropriate
examples for use as a meal is served (these can be easily modified to begin or
conclude a meeting):
We meet together in an effort to build community, to advance
education and understanding. We seek the
patience of one another as we strive to learn and grow and the stamina to make
a difference in our state, nation, and world.
We express our thanks for the gifts of life and for the food that we are
about to partake of.
We gather here today as colleagues and friends with
attention to a common goal. That goal is
the continued service to the citizens of our state through our programs and
information. We understand our
responsibilities as committed educators as well as learners – personally and
professionally. It is obvious that we
work and live in challenging times. We
seek the patience of each other as we strive to learn and grow, and the stamina
to make a difference in our state, nation, and the world.
We express our thanks for an opportunity to gather together
where we can reinforce our community principles of openness and engagement for
all people, for the gifts of life and for the food that has been prepared for
us. For all this, we are thankful.
