The rodeo is just the beginning. What’s next?

The Donalsonville-Seminole County Chamber of Commerce is as alive and kicking as this rodeo is set to be, this coming weekend. Great things are happening in the chamber and in our community and the April 29th and 30th rodeo is just the beginning of a whole new and exciting story.

The chamber’s new slogan, We are open, tells us this place is open for business, but, here in Donalsonville and Seminole County, we are open means so much more. It means we are also open to new thoughts and new possibilities. We aspire to open up minds and celebrate the genius in all of us.

Let’s work together and open up a world of ideas and let curiosity get the best of us.

Here’s a prayer for the rodeo and its participants
Our Gracious and Heavenly Father,
We pause in the midst of this festive occasion, mindful and thoughtful of the guidance that You have given us.
We would ask today, Lord, that You be with us in this rodeo arena as we pray You will be also with us in life’s arena.
As cowboys, Lord, we don’t ask for any special favors in this arena today.
We only ask that You will let us compete in this event, and in life, as You did for us.
We don’t ask that we never break a barrier, draw the steer that won’t lay, draw around a chute fighting horse, or a bull that is impossible to ride.
Help us to compete in life as honest as the horse we ride; in a manner as clean and pure as the wind that blows across this Georgia country; so when we make that Last Ride, that we know is inevitable, to the Country Up There … where the grass is green and lush and stirrup-high and the water runs clean and clear, You will tell us, as our Last Judge, that our entry fees are paid.
We ask these things in Christ’s name.
Amen.
