Prayer by the Chaplain, The Reverend Dave Ditolla.
Father God, What a privilege it is to come into Your presence this morning. Lord, as we look at the many challenges facing our nation and our state, we realize that we don't have all the answers. We need help. God, for the problems that seem unsolvable, remind us that You are God and we are not. Remind us also that if we do our absolute best and we trust You, then You promise to make up the difference. Please make up the difference. It is in Your name that we pray. Amen.

Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.
