Sen. Nangle welcomes the Rev. Lisle Blind to the State House

AUGUSTA — On Wednesday, May 28, Sen. Tim Nangle, D-Windham, welcomed the Rev. Lisle Blind of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church in Windham to the State House. Rev. Blind provided the opening invocation on the floor of the Senate Chamber.

“It was a privilege to welcome Rev. Blind to the Senate,” said Sen. Nangle. “Her prayer called on us to lead with love, to listen with empathy, and to seek peace in ourselves and in our service to others. It was a meaningful reminder of the values we strive to reflect in our work here.”

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, opening invocations are non-political in nature. If you are interested in giving an invocation, please reach out to Alex Ferguson at Alex.Ferguson@legislature.maine.gov or call 207-287-1540.

Sen. Nangle is serving his second term in the Maine Senate, representing Casco, Frye Island, Raymond, Windham and part of Westbrook. He serves as Senate Chair of the Transportation Committee and sits on the Health and Human Services Committee.
