JOURNAL 16
June 27, 2002
The Senate met at 9:00 a.m.
A quorum was present.
The prayer was offered by the Rev. Canon Marthe F. Dyner, Senate Guest Chaplain.
Good and gracious God: For this day in New Hampshire - with its promise of abundance, we give you thanks and praise. For all the voices we hear each day and all the ways in which they echo yours, we rejoice and bless Your holy Name. We ask your blessing upon the Senate of New Hampshire - its members, those who serve as staff and those who watch today's deliberations with hope and with fear. Help them to heard your voice of peace. Help them to join hands with love and faithfulness - to embrace righteousness and peace in a tender kiss. Help them to find the clear voice of truth flowing through the stream of voices around them. And at the end of the day when we all have done the very best we were able, help us to know, with humility, that what was good in this day is a gift from you and did not come from our works alone. For all of this we pray, ever blessing your hold Name. Amen.
Senator Barnes led the Pledge of Allegiance.
