MLA: Buckley Belanger - Athabasca


We pray today for Buckley Belanger.  We thank you for the gifts and calling that you have placed upon his life to serve and lead in the political arena.  We ask that You would be with him today as he serves his constituents and the people of Saskatchewan as critic.  Grant him your wisdom, insight and understanding throughout this day. Amen
