The following prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Father James Pearson, Christ Episcopal
Church, Yankton, South Dakota:
Let us pray. Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make
our common prayer to you. We thank you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings
of this life. Grant to each member of this government a good measure of your Holy Spirit: To
Senators and Representatives, and all who assist them, give wisdom and foresight to provide
for the needs of the people; To the Judges and Officers of our Courts, give understanding and
integrity that human rights may be guarded; To Michael, our Governor, give courage to lead and
the skill to faithfully administer the will of the people. For the whole of our lives, begin,
continue and end in thee, Our Gracious God. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by House pages Bryan Bietz and Kyle Schoenfish.
