The organizers included a Bible verse for attendees to keep in mind once leaving the ceremony from 2 Samual 22:29-31:

For You are my lamp, O LORD;

The LORD shall enlighten my darkness.

For by You I can run against a troop;

By my God I can leap over a wall.

As for God, His way is perfect;

The word of the LORD is proven;

He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
