Sen. Ingwersen welcomes Pastor Russell Carle from Goodwin Mills Advent Christian Church of Dayton to the Maine Senate

AUGUSTA – On March 5, Sen. Henry Ingwersen, D-Arundel, welcomed Pastor Russell Carle from Goodwin Mills Advent Christian Church in Dayton to the Senate chamber. Pastor Carle gave the Opening Prayer.

“It was an honor to host Pastor Carle here in Augusta,” said Sen. Ingwersen. “I’m grateful to the Pastor for coming up to deliver the Opening Prayer! I’m always excited to see faith leaders from my community make time to come up to the State House.”

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.
