Sen. Daughtry welcomes Rev. John Allen to the Maine Senate

Posted: January 18, 2024 | Senator Daughtry

AUGUSTA ­­— On Thursday, Sen. Mattie Daughtry, D-Brunswick, welcomed Rev. John Allen of the First Parish Church in Brunswick to the Senate Chamber. Rev. Allen gave the Opening Prayer.

“Rev. Allen is an incredible faith leader and has done great work in our community,” said Sen. Daughtry. “I am grateful for his willingness to be here and help my colleagues and me start our work for the day. If you would like to give the Opening Prayer on a Senate Session Day, please let me know.”

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, the Senate Secretary’s Office asks that these invocations are non-secular and non-political. To sign up to give the Opening Prayer, contact Alex Ferguson at (207) 287-1540 or Alex.Ferguson@legislature.maine.gov.
