"O Almighty God, Dearest Heavenly Father,                                     
                                                                               
We give You thanks most humble and hearty for the blessing                    
of a new day in which to serve You and our neighbor in                         
wholeness of body and mind.                                                    
                                                                               
As a citizen I and the other assistants gathered here make bold               
to intercede with You for these, our representatives in                        
government.  You have established in our midst law-making                      
powers dedicated to the upholding of both order and liberty,                   
not an easy task for them.  We all ask this of You, that You

bless and preserve our form of government in state and nation.                
Grant that our legislators may always be mindful of the needs                  
of all their constituents.  Give them the great wisdom needed                  
to distinguish between needs and wants.                                        
                                                                               
On this day when love in some form is everywhere, we are                      
reminded by Your Word that the love You are looking for is                     
selfless, always seeking the good of others, more ready to give                
than to receive; it would make us servants of one another.                     
Grant that each of these public servants gathered here would                   
be guided to serve unselfishly the common good of the                          
people.                                                                        
                                                                               
These things we ask are impossible for us to accomplish on                    
our own, but nothing is impossible for You.  Grant them by                     
Your Holy Spirit, in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.                       
                                                                               
Amen."                                                                        
                                                                               
                                                                               
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Moses.
