ATLANTA - Several hundred people gathered this morning for an inaugural prayer service for governor-elect Sonny Perdue at Atlanta's Church of the Apostles. <br>
<br>
Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy and Georgia football coach Mark Richt were among the speakers. Perdue's 25-year-old son, Jim Perdue, gave the sermon. <br>
<br>
Jim Perdue told his father, ``You've been elected to the highest office in the state, but you've also been elected the highest servant in the state.'' <br>
<br>
The prayer service, held prior to the inauguration ceremony, is a tradition set by many incoming governors. Perdue will take office as Georgia's 81st governor Monday afternoon. <br>
<br>
Richt gave the benediction. Perdue was a non-scholarship football player at UGA and has become friend's with Georgia's new head coach.
