Jaycee
Creed
We
believe:
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That Earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
That service to humanity is the best work of life.
Jaycee
Prayer
We
reaffirm our conviction that faith in GOD gives meaning
and
purpose to human life.
May
the Lord guide us in all our undertakings.
