Father, You have given all peoples one common origin. Your will is to gather us as one family to Yourself. We are grateful for the Presidents of our United States who have worked for that unity. Fill the hearts of these representatives with the fire of desire to ensure justice for all our brothers and sisters.
Help us all share the good things You give us, most especially integrity, honor, and equality for every human being, an end to division, and our state's society built on mutual care and peace. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
