Burton Kincaid, Pastor of the First Free Methodist Church in Owosso, offered the following invocation: “Heavenly Father, it is with joy that we come in the name of our Lord. As we stand together, we thank You for each one of these: for the opportunities, the responsibilities, and the privileges that we enjoy in our state, and also the opportunity to serve our state. So we just pray for each one here, right now. As we see the sunshine out today, we think about what the Psalms had said, ‘This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it,’ so we do just that. We ask that You give us strength for the work for this day. We realize that there is pressure, there is turmoil, there is frustration, and this group of people are put here to work for the good of our state. I know that there are different points of view, but along with this Lord, give the insight, give the direction, give the guidance and give the encouragement that each one might be able to do what is right. Lord, You have told us in Your word that if any of us lacked wisdom, we can ask of You and You will give it to us liberally, and that You do not get after us either. So give the wisdom today, and Lord, give the assurance that You can give in these days of unrest. Be in each one of the decisions, and be with each person here. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.” ______ Rep. Scott moved that Reps. Mans and Schermesser be excused from today’s session. The motion prevailed.
