One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:
Congressman Drew Ferguson (GA)
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. George Dillard, whose leadership and guidance have made him a valuable member of our Peachtree City community in the Third District of Georgia.
This is the second time that Dr. Dillard has joined me here in the
Nation's Capitol to pray for the Members of the House of Representatives, and we are extremely grateful that he did just that.
George has been a vitally important part of the Third District for over 25 years since he and his family moved to Peachtree City to serve at the Peachtree City Christian Church, where he still serves to this day.
George has been married to his wife, Renee, since 1988. They have
three children and one grandchild. George and his family live in
Peachtree City, Georgia.
I commend Dr. Dillard for his commitment to our community and Nation.
There is not a week that goes by where George isn't a visible and
welcoming part of the Fayette County community.
The grace and love he has shown to his parishioners and his neighbors throughout his 24 years in Peachtree City are unparalleled, and I am truly honored to have Dr. Dillard here with me today as he prays for our Nation.
Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Our Father, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Great I Am, the maker of Heaven and Earth, let it be known today that You are God and that Your servants do all things at the command and leading of Your Word through Jesus the Christ, the son of the living God.
Hear me, Lord, hear me so that these people will know that You, Lord, are God and that You call them to turn their hearts to You.
Drive out the divisive ones, rebuke those who destroy the innocent, and remove those who delight in lies. Give wisdom, strength, and courage to those who seek unity, protect the innocent, and love the truth.
Lead us to be a people who seek freedom, liberty, and justice for all.
And let all of God's people say amen.
