Okay. I think we're going to get started. Good evening, everybody. It is Monday, March 2nd, 2026. And I call the regular Board of Meeting of Representatives to order. The time now is. What is the time? 7:32 p.m. The invitation tonight will be delivered by Dr. Anthony D. Moore, the Apostle of Jesus' Lot Tabernacle of One Accord Deliverance Center. Let us borrow our heads. Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for this time and space you've given us. We thank you for the president of this Board of Representative representatives today, President Shaw, and all of those that's gathered here. We come before you asking you to give us mercy and grace. Let the leaders have the wisdom and integrity to go forth to bring equality to discuss the business matters at hand with dignity and human kindness one for another. We pray for the healing of brokenness and the healing of our economy and the prosperity of this city. We ask that you help us be agents of change for our neighbors one to another, bringing contributions to our fellow man. We pray that this city will shine as a light of compassion and hope for others. Teach us how to engage and win the city through prayer. Teach us patience, for patience is the guiding force. Sometimes change comes quickly, sometimes change comes along time. Sometimes changes require global intermission. We thank you for giving us the trust that you've given us the compassion to work together for the common goal. We ask that the city will recognize the care that it needs for righteous infrastructure. We teach us our hands how to war against the opposing enemy and not one another. We pray that you created this world and call it good. So therefore, let creation come up out of these meetings with the goodness of mankind in our hearts. We thank you for the brokenness of the city will be healed today. We ask you give us guidance and a heart towards humanity. We lament over the city and the cares of this city. We thank you that you're guarding us and keeping us in all of your ways, bring equity to all men. We ask that you show us how to be involved in good works that are already happening in our streets, our parks, our good days, community meetings and tour drives and food banks and holidays and decorations. Let this city be a beacon of light to others. And as this agenda unfolds tonight, we pray that it is governed by the help of the disenfranchised. It is focused by those that are in need of help and not private agendas that will cause others to be livy in their own eyes and pride of life. We ask that churches would drop their differences and that we will come together in the community to help one another and all mankind. And Father, as I end this prayer, I thank you for the institution of education and commerce and manufacturing and jobs and all the things that will be discussed for zoning and the things that will be beneficial beneficial to others and bring equality to others in Jesus' name. I thank you. I pray that every man, woman, boy, girl, and child will be experienced the hope and harmony that lies in this room. I thank you, Father, for giving us the peace that surpasses all understanding that only you can give. Except the Lord watch over the city, he that watch, watch in vain. We thank you that we're privileged United States to have Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, Space Force, Coastal Guards, National Guards, and Reserve Guards. But except you be with us, those guards are in vain. We ask that heaven will be implemented in the earth realm on this day. You've given us Earth, Terra, continent of North America, United States of America, Northeast, the colony state, County of Fairfield, State of Connecticut, in the city of Stanford, in the central hub of 888 Washington Boulevard on the fourth floor, even tonight. I pray that you breathe upon the hearts of those gathered in this room and that you will cause us to be a fortress that will help our fellow men and grow together as one. And Father, I end with this statement tonight, anyway. People often be unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered, but forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfishness, alternative motives.
