Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Reverend Barry Jenkins, Pastor, Summerton Presbyterian Church in Summerton, S.C. as follows:

Almighty God, we bow our heads for this moment to acknowledge the reality of your presence in our lives. For you are the giver of every good and perfect gift and we rejoice in the opportunities that you have laid before us this day.

In our hearts we know that the plans You have for this body of legislators and for this state are far beyond what we can ever accomplish on our own.

We thank you that you have called us to serve the people of this state, and we would only ask that as we serve the people, we would do so with compassion and with fairness.

We are reminded daily of the responsibility that has been entrusted to each of us. Help us to faithfully execute our elected duties, and may we always remember that there is a Law which is above the law made in this Chamber; a Law to which we will all be held accountable, and that is the Law of God!

Inspire us, guide us, and lead us in all that we do. For we pray today in the name of our Lord and Savior... Amen.
