Reverend Carl Gauck offered the following prayer:

"A saint is one who walks when he walks, who talks when he talks, who does not dream while listening, who does not think while acting." (Anonymous)

Gracious God, we gather once again to analyze what is before us. Let us be saintly in our attentiveness of what is presented to us and what is said for our discernment. Let us be fully alert to what is best for the people of this state and help us provide assistance that may improve legislation we are asked to pass. But to do so we need Your presence and guidance this week and therefore ask for Your blessings in this way. In Your Holy Name we pray. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was recited.
