DEL.ICIO.USInauguration Prayer Service
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Gov. Sonny Perdue, his family and about 125 other Georgians began inauguration Monday with a prayer service at Northside United Methodist Church this morning.
“We are friends and supporters governor, but we are all Georgians,” the Rev. G. Gil Watson Sr., minister of the church, told Perdue in his welcome.
Catholic Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory told Perdue this was a day of pride and hope for him as he begins his second term in office. “It is an equally hopeful day for the family of citizens that is the state of Georgia.”
Gregory told Perdue to pray for a wisdom that would help all Georgians, who have a stake in how he performs as governor.
Among those taking part in the service was the Rev. Jim Perdue, the governor’s son and pastor of North Cross Baptist Church in Cumming. Rev. Perdue called his dad a man of integrity and high morals. “I want you be God’s man,” he told his father. “I want you to be what God has called you to be.”
