Opening Meeting
Footpaths to Peace
To be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars - to be satisfied with your possessions but not content with yourself until you have made the best of them - to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice - to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts – to covet nothing that is your neighbor’s except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners – to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends, and every day of Christ; and to spend as much time as you can with body and with spirit, in God’s out-of doors – these are the little guideposts on the footpaths to peace.

I Peter III: 8-11
Let us all be like-minded, compassionate, loving as sisters, tender-hearted, humble-minded; not rendering evil for evil, but contrariwise, blessing.
For he that would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile; let him turn away from evil and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it.

Whatsoever things are true,
Whatsoever things are honest,
Whatsoever things are just,
Whatsoever things are pure,
Whatsoever things are lovely,
Whatsoever things are of good report,
If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
Think on these things.

The Prayer Before Meetings
Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the privilege of meeting here as a group of sisters.
We are grateful for all our temporal blessings but especially do we thank Thee for friends and for these sisters who are more than friends.
May the lives of all with whom we come in contact be a little happier and richer because of us.
Help us to grow in grace and worthiness in Thy sight.
Let our hearts be freed from all malice and pettiness and filled with loving kindness.
Grant that we may have a spirit of loyal friendship within our group, and give us strength to practice the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau in our daily lives.
Amen.
