We pray thee, Almighty and eternal god, who in times past blessed our forefathers in this Valley.
May You shed the light of your countenance on the members of this Society, on our families and our work.
At different times and from many places our forefathers gathered here in this pleasant Valley.
We, their descendants, strive to preserve their memory and continue their mission on earth, as we move forward in our time.
Aided by Thy wisdom, inspire us in our efforts to preserve the past, while setting the foundation for a new world.
Amen

Rev. Edmund H. Fitzgerald
