Almighty God, whose pleasure it is that your servants should serve you joyfully, grant that all who gather in Colorado will find good fellowship, fruitful conversation, and renewal in their labors. May your Holy Spirit inspire those who speak and strengthen those who work behind the scenes. Continue to use the ASA and CWIS to advance science in the service of your eternal kingdom. This we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came into the world to save sinners. May He receive all glory, honor and power, now and forever. Amen.

Here is a prayer that CWIS members might pray for the upcoming annual conference:

Almighty and eternal God, whose will it is that all should come to you through your Son Jesus Christ: Inspire our witness as people of science, that we might make known the power of his forgiveness and the hope of his resurrection.

We beseech you to be with us as we gather and as we depart. Keep us safe from all harm.

While we are together grant us grace to serve one another, to listen to one another, and to encourage one another. May we drink from the fountain of wisdom, which is your Word and Christ our Lord. 

For the women who attend, we ask a special blessing. Grant opportunities for all to make some good connections and to form new friendships, and that we will grow together and share a united sense of our purpose.

Gracious Lord, you have filled the world with beauty. Open our eyes to behold your gracious hand in all your works; that we may learn to serve you and all humanity with gladness; for the sake of him through whom all things were created and are sustained, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
