Groundbreaking Prayer

Almighty God, we set apart this land today for a very special purpose. May the building that will rest upon this soil adequately serve the fire fighters of the _____________Fire Department.
We ask your continual blessing on the persons who serve here. May they be given wisdom, courage and strength to do their work well. And may they be given a sense of responsibility for the people and the property of our community.
Lord we would pray that a light might always shine from this place as a sign of service to those in need. May we always be ready to serve.
Finally we dedicate this land to the fire fighters of the past, present,and future of ____________Department and to the people who live here. In the name of Him who serves us all. Amen.


Every Chaplain has a different way of praying, conducting a service or even preparing for a sermon. This page is dedicated to those Chaplains who wish to share their “secret to serving God” with other Chaplains. Please send us your favorite prayer, hymn, poem or story.
