Benediction cmdr Irving Clayton

As we leave this place of farewell, may God, the source of all comfort and strength, be with you. May He hold you in the palm of His hand and guide you through the fog of grief. May you find peace in knowing that Commander Irving Clayton's duty is complete and his journey is home.

​We thank you, Lord, for the gift of his life, for the legacy he leaves behind in his family and in his service to our nation. We pray that his memory will not be a source of sorrow, but a testament to a life lived with honor and faithfulness. May the love he shared with you be a beacon of light, and the wisdom he imparted a guiding star.

​Go now, in peace, and find a renewed sense of purpose and courage in the days ahead. And may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and forevermore.

Amen.


Very Respectfully,

Devotion: Worshipful Work

Life can feel like a constant grind sometimes, can't it? We're all balancing responsibilities—whether it's school, a job, family, or other commitments.

But what if all that hard work isn't just about getting ahead or earning a paycheck? What if it's actually an act of worship? What is work?

Navy Bday Ball Region Southwest 2023

Almighty Father, our ever present help, refuge and strength. We invoke you to bless this gathering of the sons and daughters of liberty as we celebrate 248 years of American Naval Service. As we recount the courage and honor of the forefathers who donned our nation's cloth. We ask that you protect, guide and strengthen our comrades in arms who have heeded liberty's call to oppose tyranny and terrorism. As we take part in these Naval traditions, remind us that freedom comes at a cost. Remind our nation that they may sleep peacefully at night because our warriors of the sea stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Bless the families of these mariners who have sacrificed and now bear Old Glory over foreign shores. God bless America so that we may stand a nation for another 248 years with freedom and justice for all. In the name of He who is always faithful we pray, Amen
