This is slightly different than other prayer request threads. Tonight the school that I teach at is having the Awards Banquet for the fall athletic season, where we hand out awards to players and celebrate championships. The Head of School has asked me to say a prayer at the beginning of the...

Hi folks. This Friday the school that I teach at is having a banquet to celebrate our fall athletics season, at which several of our teams won championships. The Director of the athletic program has asked me to say a prayer at the opening of ceremony. I've looked in the Book of Common Prayer...

Hi folks. I post only occasionally here but not too often, so before I start explaining my situation I'll say a little bit about myself. Though I'm 28 I skipped out on dating in college and graduate school. Hence I have very little experience, and that's why I'm asking for help. About a month...
