Here's a few readings that I used:

Dear God, we praise You for the world and its beauty.
For family and friends, neighbors and cousins-
Dear God, we thank You for friendship and love.
For kind hearts, smiling faces and helping hands-
Dear God, we praise You for those who care for others.
For commandments that teach us how to live-
Dear God, we thank You for those who help us to understand Your laws.
And for making us one family on earth, the children of one God-
Dear God, we praise You, who made all people different, yet alike.

-------------------------------------------
We ponder the past
We think about the future
Where have we been?
Where are we now?
What is the connection?

What heritage did I receive from my parents?
What will I bequeath to my children?
What can I give to others?
Where do my people, my community fit in my life?

If I can make someone’s life better,
I will not regret the past.
If I can help someone grow,
I will not fear the future.

Oh God, let me make some mark on this world,
Let me create some image,
Let me leave some memory of myself.
If only even for an instant
Let someone think or say:
The world is better because I passed this way.

-----------------------------------------------
For Peace (this one is responsive reading)
O, God, You have called us to peace, for You are Peace itself.
May we have the vision to see that each of us, in some measure,
Can help to realize these aims:

Where there are ignorance and superstition,
Let there be enlightenment and knowledge.

Where there are prejudice and hatred,
Let there be acceptance and love.

Where there are fear and suspicion,
Let there be confidence and trust.

Where there are tyranny and oppression,
Let there be freedom and justice.

Where there are poverty and disease,
Let there be prosperity and health.

Where there are strife and discord,
Let there be harmony and peace.
