One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:
Mr. KINZINGER. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to welcome Pastor Paul C.
Meyers as our guest chaplain this morning and greatly appreciate him leading us in prayer on this historic Thursday.
Pastor Meyers is from the 16th Congressional District of Illinois,
which I proudly represent, and serves as the senior chaplain at the United Methodist Church in Roscoe, Illinois.
Serving in ministry since 1992, Pastor Meyers has been a stalwart, faithful figure in our community. He serves as chaplain for the fire, EMS, and law enforcement––19 years and counting––and is currently the head chaplain for the Harlem–Roscoe Fire Department and the Roscoe Police Department. He also serves as chaplain with the FBI and will be
resident chaplain at the FBI Academy this month in Quantico.
I want to say thank you to Pastor Meyers and to his family for all
they do to serve in our community. We are humbly grateful for this dedication to serving the Lord and providing us with this spiritual
guidance.
Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Gracious God, as we stand here today on the shoulders of all the giants who have come before, we ask Your blessing on these, Your current lawmakers who are the giants of our own time. Our past was protected by You, and, because of this, we entrust our present and our future to You as well.
These, Your servants of this great Nation, reflect Your will when they create and enforce laws for the betterment and safety of Your people. I pray for Your wisdom and guidance to be upon them, and that Your mighty arms enfold them in blessing.
May good continue to conquer evil. May Your truth make us free. We humbly ask You to continue to bless the United States of America. Amen.
