One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:


Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

O Holy God, who has taught us to place our confidence in You, give the Members of this body the power of Your wisdom. In all their duties, empower them to be loyal to You and obedient to Your precepts.

Lord, give them faith to believe that You are willing to help them solve the problems they face when they place their total trust in You.

Be their abiding reality and lead them into the paths of loving service as they strive to do Your will.

Lord, open their eyes to the many things they can do to accomplish Your purposes.

And Lord, do for us all infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.

We pray in Your powerful name. Amen.
