WELCOME
GSR PREAMBLE (Recite together):
As General Service Representatives we are the communication link for our groups and the world of AA. As Trusted Servants, our job is to bring information to our groups so that they may reach an informed group conscience. Let us have the patience to listen while others share, and have the wisdom to do what is right for our groups and AA as a whole.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT (Recite together):
I am responsible when anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there. And for that: I am responsible.
SERENITY PRAYER (Recite together):
