Roll called.
All present.
Prayer by the Chaplain, Reverend Bruce Henderson.
Our Father in Heaven, as Your people of old marched up to their capital city, Jerusalem, they sang: “Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain.” As we stand here today in our capital city, I don’t sing it, Lord, but I request the same. Please guard and bless our city, our state, and our nation. Unless you do, Father, it’s all in vain. In Your Holy Name I pray.
Amen.
