Council meeting opens with invocation and Pledge of Allegiance
Summary
Reverend Jeff Humphrey delivered the invocation, mentioning the recent passing of a longtime local pastor; Cash Thomas led the Pledge of Allegiance. The council then moved into routine business.
The Denison City Council meeting opened with an invocation by Reverend Jeff Humphrey of Parkside Baptist Church, who asked for prayers for the family of a longtime local pastor who recently died. In the prayer Reverend Humphrey refers to the pastor first as “Brother Evans” and later says, “We thank you for brother Evan Sword,” a discrepancy recorded in the meeting transcript.
After the invocation, Cash Thomas (introduced as the son of Aaron Thomas) led the Pledge of Allegiance and the meeting proceeded to the business portion of the agenda. No members of the public signed up to speak during the public comment period.
The invocation and pledge occupied the opening minutes of the session before the council handled consent items and other procedural matters.
