One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:


Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

Almighty God and creator of us all, we thank You and praise You this afternoon for the many, many gifts You have bestowed upon us: the gift of life, the gifts of family and friendship, and the gift of the sacred opportunity to serve You.

We ask this day for the gift of peace for our Nation and our world. We ask You to protect our friends and family, to console and strengthen those who suffer, to take away our anxieties, and to fill us once again with the gift of wisdom, so that we might better know Your will and be able to carry it out.

We ask these things with hearts full of gratitude and praise. Amen.
