Praying at a meeting is a great way to remind everyone that God is with each and every one of us. Here are some great invocation prayers to help start the meeting off right.

The script to be used will vary for each installation. The number of people to be installed, as well as the particular office being filled, will determine to a large extent the kind of script chosen. The wording of the script has to be tailored to fit each office and ideally will be tailored to blend with the aims and objectives of the group. Many chapters desire to formalize their installation of incoming chapter officers by administering an oath of office. Accordingly, some chapters have used all or variations of the following as part.

Dear Lord, I pray that You guide us always. Satisfy the needs that need to be met during this meeting. Strengthen us as we make tough decisions.

Let us be effective and decisive. Amen.

Prayer for Unity
God of peace, we invite You to preside over this meeting. Even if we have different opinions, give us unity of spirit. Help us to each listen politely as others share their points of view.
