Reverend Dr. Louis Prues of Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church of Detroit offered the following invocation:

Spirit of service, we are of many faiths, and for that rich blend we are grateful. We come from every corner of our great state to inspire in each other a deeper understanding of service and caring and trust. You have given gifts and talents and skills to those in this room and so it is our fervent prayer that they will use them to create a healthy, a just, and a prosperous society. We invoke Your blessing on our Governor, our Lieutenant Governor, and all of those here this morning who lead us.

Spirit of understanding, we pray that You will enlarge our sympathies and deepen our understanding. Strengthen our courage and hope here in this assembly and in the neighborhoods represented here today. May our circles and our hearts be inclusive, remembering that everyone we serve is made in Your image.

Spirit of peace, shine brightly in all of these legislators. Give them a deeper understanding of the people who dislike them, a greater appreciation for those who do like them, a joy in the people who love them, and a greater power to help those who truly need them. Open their eyes to a larger vision, their ears to the sounds of hurt, and their hearts to the many needs of the people of Michigan.

Spirit of courage, guard brave men and women everywhere who are risking their lives in battle for their country and our communities. Bring hope to those families at home wanting their father, their mother, their sister, their brother, their friend to be safe and return in the evening. For those who have fought the good fight for their country and their community and who now live eternally with You, we thank You today for their lives, for their courage, and for their selfless duty.

We pray for these things with humility, we pray because of the hope that is within us and our faith in the ultimate triumph of the human spirit that You have given to us, and we pray because of our trust in the God as we know him: Creator, Sustainer, and Provider. Amen.

The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

The President pro tempore, Senator Schuitmaker, assumed the Chair.
