Rep. Steve Bieda, from the 25th District, offered the following invocation:

"I would like to dedicate today's invocation to Sally Chalgian, a civil rights activist and community leader from Macomb County whose funeral is being today held as I speak.

As we gather here on behalf of the people of this state, let us, in recognizing the great diversity represented by the people of Michigan, re-dedicate ourselves to our commitment to serve, and remember the wisdom of Saint John, who challenges us all when he states:

'How can you say that you love God, whom you do not see, if you do not love your neighbor, who you do see?'

Let us, in the work that we perform and the lives that we lead, remember that however different we may be, there is far more that unites us than divides us.

And let us, as policy-makers of this great state, always endeavor to reflect what is best in our fellow citizens. Amen."
