Pursuant to the report of the Joint-Select Committee, as found on page 13 of the House Journal, the Senate convened with the House of Representatives in the House Chamber for the purpose of receiving a message from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, David Gilbertson. The President of the Senate, Matt Michels, presided.

The following prayer was delivered by Chaplain, Bishop David Zellmer, South Dakota Synod of the ELCA, Sioux Falls, South Dakota:

Deuteronomy 1 _ Choose from each of your communities individuals who are wise, discerning, and reputable to be your judges... and Moses said, give the members of your community a fair hearing, and judge rightly between one person and another whether citizen or resident alien. You must not be partial in judging, hear out the small and great alike; you shall not be intimated by anyone.

Heavenly Father,

You have gifted us with the law and we have set aside these wise and discerning men and women to be judges over us. Bless their discerning and judgements that they might be fair and equitable to both the small and great. We pray for Chief Justice Gilbertson, the Supreme Court Justices and all the Judges and Magistrates who serve in South Dakota.

In this time we pray for all those who go in harms way to keep us safe, especially those who serve in Law Enforcement. We remember those who have died in keeping us safe.

Bless as well our Governor, Senators and Representatives and all those who have been set aside to serve.

In Your Holy Name we Pray. Amen.
