Good morning. Maybe we can have a brief moment of silence to remember all of those people out there that we're serving, and then I'll do a short prayer.

Let us pray together. Gracious and almighty God, thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve the people of the Northwest Territories, the opportunity to work together in peace and harmony and to do the best thing for our people in the Northwest Territories, enable us to feel the suffering of those who are homeless and having a difficult time, and help us to make wise decisions together. We ask this through our creator. Amen.
