Governor John Engler

Hereby Issues this Executive Declaration

in Observance of

November 20 – 26, 1994

as

CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK

WHEREAS, as our society faces difficult challenges and international unrest, these uncertain and changing times test our working people, their families and challenge their beliefs; and

WHEREAS, the observance of CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK encourages Americans to affirm the nation’s spiritual roots and to enlist prayer for local, state, and national leaders; and

WHEREAS, in Michigan, we are fortunate to have been blessed with beautiful rivers, lakes, fields, forests, and a people who —  through hard work and intellectual effort and toil —  have made cultural, industrial, agricultural, and educational advancements for the enrichment of life for our citizens; and

WHEREAS, it is eminently fitting and proper that during November 20 – 26, 1994, we observe CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK as a special time when everyone in our communities may acknowledge their many blessings and express gratitude to God while recognizing the need for strengthening religious and moral values in our land;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, John Engler, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby declare November 20 – 26, 1994, as CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK in Michigan. I encourage the citizens of the Great Lakes State to recognize the importance of Christian beliefs and values to the life and culture of our state and nation.

Given under my hand on this seventh day of April in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ninety-four and of the Commonwealth one hundred and fifty-eight.

JAMES ENGLER

Governor
