Dr. Herbert B. Robinson, Jr., Pastor of True Love Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit, offered the following invocation:
“Most merciful and Divine Supreme Being, we acknowledge Your presence and infinite wisdom among us.
As this meeting of our trusted officials engages in public service, we sometimes fall short of satisfying every human need and desire, but we still pledge to be reasonable in our decision-making.
We do need You, merciful and Divine One, to govern our thoughts, words and deeds as we humbly accept the challenge to proceed towards what is honorable and pleasing in Your sight.
If we have not achieved the objectives that we have set, it leaves us no room to gloat in our successes. We will continue to work harder on matters of the commonwealth for the good of our great nation. Be with us now and make our nation strong through us and by us is our prayer. Amen.”
