A Prayer for Class Reunion:

Lord, You are the God of life that sustains every moment of our being.

Today, we thank You for this opportunity of class reunion,
after we said our temporary goodbyes to our dear Alma Mater.

Thank You for all of us present today, for our friendships new and old,
and for all the good memories we share.

Thank You for the meal we will partake later,
the fruit of human hands from the bounty of your blessing.

Bless us all and our families,
including those who could not attend this reunion,
for various reasons.

We pray most especially for our classmates,
who have completed their life's journey
ahead of us. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord.

Make this special day full of fun and excitement,
celebrating life as we walk through memory lane of our youth.

And after our great time together, grant us a safe trip back home,
even as we pray and hope to be enjoying each others company again
at our next class reunion.

For all these we ask your blessing,
our loving Father, through Jesus your Son,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
