Pastor Gary Mindel, Senior Pastor of Harbor Light Community Chapel in
Harbor Springs, offered the following invocation:
“Heavenly Father.
You are mighty and
sovereign. No one is Your equal nor stands beside You. We are so grateful for
Your infinite wisdom, power and presence. Thank You for creating government and
the structure of authority.
Thank You for
loving us and demonstrating that love by sending Your son Jesus Christ the
perfect sinless sacrifice. Thank You for providing a way of a relationship with
You through Jesus to all people who seek You.
You have shown us
what true leadership really is in the life Your son Jesus. He is the servant
leader, Who put the needs of others before Himself. He also said, ‘Since I,
your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s
feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. Now that
you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.’
I pray we have the
same attitude that Jesus had. Who, even though He was God, did not see it
necessary to cling to position or titles. Instead, He gave up His divine
privileges; He took the humble position of a servant. While being 100% God, was
also 100% man and humbled Himself in obedience to You Father God and died a
criminal’s death on a cross. Thank You for elevating Him to the place of
highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names, that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow.
Thank You for all
these wonderful men and women who are in place to serve the people of Michigan
as servant leaders. Thank You that so many of them have put on hold their own
businesses and pursuits to serve the people of Michigan with honesty, integrity
and righteousness. I pray they daily humble themselves before You and as a
result You will give them great governing success. I pray that You will honor
them, make them well known for their submission to You and the answers You have
available to them through the principles of Your word, as well as the
inspiration of Your guiding, teaching and instructive Holy Spirit. Make them
bold in standing for what is right, true and holy.
I pray that You
give them the ability to take complex problems and simplify them to a practical
solution. I pray that all laws they produce are life-giving and
life-saving. I pray that all who read them run with them correctly and make the
people of the state of Michigan flourish. I pray You would give them the
ability to see down the road and make decisions that would provide long term
health and wellness to this state.
I pray they would
be fiscally responsible with every dollar put in their hands. We pray You would
protect them from temptation and from the tricks and schemes of the evil one,
who seeks to steal, kill and destroy. We trust in You God and not ourselves
because the proud are crooked, but the righteous live by faith in God.
We pray that today’s
session of state government will be ordained and productive. That it glorifies
You and lifts the heads of people of Michigan out of their troubles and on to
the glory of Your name.
If you would lift
your hands.
‘May the Lord bless
you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the
Lord show you His favor and give you His peace.’
I pray all of these
things in the powerful name of Your son Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Thompson,
Alexander, Fitzgerald, Jaime Greene, Johnsen, MacDonell, Paiz, Rheingans,
Rogers and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 38.
A resolution to declare
March 11, 2025, as Community Volunteer Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Volunteers
are a vital resource and have contributed to the health, education, welfare,
recreation, culture, and environment of the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, One in
twenty children will have lost a parent by the age of sixteen. This creates a
significant amount of trauma for that child. Many times, it creates financial
burdens on top of grief that were not there before. Families are left with
little guidance and support on how to navigate through the grief process and
also life as it was known before; and
Whereas, There are
community volunteer organizations dedicated to providing guidance, stability,
and financial assistance to families with children who have lost one or both
parents. This all-too-common tragedy transcends the lines of race, religion,
and status and often forces children to prematurely assume the burden of adult
responsibility; and
Whereas, In
addition to immediate financial resources for living expenses, there are
community volunteer organizations that attempt to provide at least some
semblance of the parent’s mentoring hand, now reduced to memories and
photographs; and
Whereas, The hard
work and commitment of volunteers have enriched and vitalized the efforts of
the local communities across the state; and
Whereas, We wish to
celebrate Michigan Local Community Volunteers, thanking them for their selfless
efforts and dedication; and,
Whereas, It is
appropriate that a day should be set apart for the appreciation of volunteers
in the local community and their impact on Michigan’s citizens; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, by the
House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare
March 11, 2025, as Community Volunteer Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the
resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Outman,
Alexander, Dievendorf, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Jaime Greene, Johnsen, Longjohn,
MacDonell, Paiz, Rheingans, Rogers and Witwer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution
No. 39.
Whereas, Multiple
sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease of the central nervous system,
affecting nearly one million people in the United States alone; and
Whereas, MS
generally strikes people in the prime of life, between ages 20 through 50, and
the cause and course of the often debilitating symptoms remain unknown and no
cure currently exists; and
Whereas, The
National Multiple Sclerosis Society is committed to a world free of MS,
heightening public knowledge about and insight into the disease; and
Whereas, The
mission of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is to cure MS while
empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives, one that all
Americans and Michiganders should support; and
Whereas, Since
1946, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society has been a driving force of MS
research, relentlessly pursuing prevention, treatments, and a cure, and has
invested more than $1 billion in groundbreaking research; and
Whereas, Funds
raised through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society fuels research on
pathways to MS cures and invests in the MS research workforce at the best
medical centers, universities, and other institutions throughout the U.S. and

______
Rep.
Glanville, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage
of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr.
Speaker and members of the House:
Transporting
a juvenile with an adult co-conspirator potentially puts the youth in danger.
It is in the best interest of a youth offender who is under the manipulation of
an adult offender to remove them from that situation as soon as possible.
Transporting them together gives the adult additional time to exert influence
and could lead to additional abuse.”
