Pastor Ed Ross, Senior Pastor of First United Methodist Church in Jackson, offered the following invocation:
“Holy and loving God, Master of the Universe, for the people of this state of Michigan we pray;
There is so much glory in this landscape, rising still as it does from the weight of ancient glacier, sown with lakes, flowing rivers, enwrapped in great inland seas. From far Ironwood and Ontonagon, copper country, basins of iron ore, great Indian names and French explorers remembered in many places, a little Niagara at Tahquamenon, locks of Sault Ste Marie, the Michilimackinac, and on down the lower peninsula from the upper, two coastlines, verdant farms, muscular towns, ports from an earlier time and inland centers, places to which settlers came, speaking a variety of tongues; steel makers, fabricators of automobiles, foods from grains, orchards of bush and tree—a plethora of fruit and berry, a history of and a place of industry, unparalleled beauty and capacity. Forgive our pride, dear God, and cause Your blessing, we pray, to rest upon this our state of Michigan and all its people.
Now, gracious God, we are gathered in this ancient, handsome room where representatives come to deliberate and decide. Grant them insight and courage. Keep all of the people in their eye. Hold the children of this state before them. Guide decisions in the education project that will found this century. Help each one to consider the investments needed, the careful use of public resource. Hold them close, and keep them in Your mercy and in Your love. This we ask in Jesus’ holy name, trusting, beloved God, in all Your wisdom and in the mighty strength of Your directing hand. Amen and Amen.”

Whereas, The history of the Holocaust offers an opportunity to reflect on the moral responsibilities of individuals, societies, and governments; and serves as an important reminder of what can happen to civilized people when bigotry, hatred, and indifference reign; and

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 18, 2012, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
