Senate opens with Memorial Day prayer from Pastor Larry Bizette
Summary
Senator Hodges introduced Pastor Larry Bizette of Lion Gate Church, who led a Memorial Day prayer asking for wisdom and civility as senators deliberate; the Senate proceeded to the Pledge and business.
The Senate convened with a Memorial Day prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance before taking up its calendar. Senator Hodges introduced Pastor Larry Bizette as "the senior pastor of Lion Gate Church in Baton Rouge" and as president of Global Marketplace Alliance, then yielded the floor for a prayer asking for guidance for lawmakers.
"Grant wisdom and to the members of the senate as they deliberate and they make decisions that affect our families, our cities, and our future," Pastor Larry Bizette said in the chamber's opening prayer, asking for "integrity, humility, and passion" and for "civility, understanding, even in times of disagreement." The Senate then recited the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Senator Hodges. The session moved next to the reading of the journal and reports from the legislative bureau.
