AUGUSTA, ME – Sen. Stacy Brenner, D-Scarborough, welcomed Reverend Christine Dyke of First Parish Congregational Church in Gorham to the Senate chamber to give the Opening Prayer.

“It was a privilege to welcome Reverend Dyke to the Senate,” said Sen. Stacy Brenner. “I am always inspired by the warm and comforting words of Rev. Dyke. She truly makes my heart sing.”

On session days, faith leaders deliver a brief inspirational message to guide lawmakers through their deliberations for the day. Out of respect for the diversity in the Senate Chamber, the Senate Secretary’s Office asks that these invocations are non-political.

To sign up to give the Opening Prayer, contact Alex Ferguson at (207) 287-1540 or Alex.Ferguson@legislature.maine.gov.
