Pastor Joshua Kennedy of Central Church of the Nazarene of Flint offered the following invocation:
Our Father, as we begin today and look around this room, look around our cities, our state, and our world, may we see You. No matter how different we seem or appear to be, let us remember first that we are all made in Your image. We are all Your sons and daughters.
May we remember that You are love, so we are made in the image of love. May that be our unifying language. We are told that love is patient, and love is kind. It is not self-seeking. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails. Give us strength and courage to live in such a way.
Guide these conversations today, Lord. Be with these leaders and proceedings. Go before us. Move among us, pulling us ever near to You.
Our prayer is that it be on earth—in Michigan, in Lansing—as it is in heaven. May that not be something we merely utter, but may we claim our role as cultivating heaven on earth. May we do Your work. Help us to trust, to hope, and to persevere.
May we act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with You our God. Lord, hear our prayer. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Senator Bieda asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Bieda’s statement is as follows:
I’m offering this as a friendly amendment. This is, obviously, a very emotional issue, and it is an issue that a lot of people have some strong opinions on. The amendment is offered in a manner that helps increase the full understanding of the past so that we can create a better future. That means learning from tragic mistakes in our nation’s and other nations’ histories.
My amendment would bolster the curriculum requirements of this bill, adding the study of additional contemporary genocides. We need only to look at our current Michigan high school social studies curriculum expectations to find guidance. The amendment that I present today comes from that Michigan high school social studies curriculum expectations. It includes the study of genocides and ethnic cleansing of Armenians, Romas, Jews, Ukrainians, Chinese, Darfur, Bosnia, Rwanda, Cambodia, and Native Americans.
That’s not enough. We can’t just study the events as they happened. We need to teach our children about human rights, peacekeeping efforts, and how we’ve tried to improve security and democratization around the globe. Those contextual components are vital to a well-rounded education.
I encourage all of you to support this amendment.
