Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
God of mercy and of kindness, God of patience and of action, God of energy and forgiveness, we give You thanks for this new day, of what is, and what is to become.
We pray that You help us draw closer to You, that we may bear witness to Your presence among us, and face the day with courage and confidence.
Send Your spirit upon the Members of this assembly. May Your grace descend upon them as they meet the difficult task of working for the common good. May they be blessed with wisdom and compassion, enough to serve their fellow citizens with dignity and humility.
Provide them with the strength to be faithful to their duties and to serve honorably, always remembering the sacred trust they have with their fellow citizens.
May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
Amen.
