Deliberations were opened with prayer as follows:

Most merciful and gracious God, give us the determination to discharge our duties and responsibilities with pure and steadfast devotion. Undergird us with a faith that never fails and a courage that never falters. May Your perfect will have preeminence in our plans and purposes, in our deliberations and decisions. Temper our minds and patience and perseverance, always concerned about finding Your will and way, then to follow it with all our might. May Your truth be our shield, Your presence our strength. Bless us all in keeping with Your knowledge of our individual needs. Amen.
