We ask that you will accept the service we off er as guardians of the lives of others. We give thanks for: • the joy of living • the strength of manhood • the honour of a noble deed • the respect we always give to the power of the surf. Teach us to know that the value of a single life is of infi nite worth in Your sight. May we ever be alert to the needs of those whose safety is dependent on our vigilance and service. Help us at all mes to never fl inch at the call of duty. Make us strong and steadfast in the service we have embraced. May we never be disheartened by diffi cul es or discouraged by discipline. Help us to off er to our Club, and to those who safety is dependent on our skill, nothing less than the best we can give. Asking for no reward – as we perform our duty on the beaches throughout Australia – in the service we have embraced. Amen Front Cover: Elouera by night.
