Defining what is an invocation and what an invocation's purpose is can be helpful in creating one. Here is a link to the American Humanist Association's Secular Invocation resource page:
http://humanist-society.org/invocations/resouces/
You will find video and transcripts of several example invocations:
"Juan Mendez, member of the Arizona House of Representatives, delivered a humanist invocation to the Arizona House of Representatives on May 21, 2013."
"Robert Ray, president of The Humanists of the North Puget Sound and humanist celebrant, gave the first ever Humanist opening invocation at the Oak Harbor city council meeting on February 4, 2014."
This invocation given right here in Colorado, which I mentioned in another blog post:
"Joe Alaimo of the Western Colorado Atheists & Freethinkers delivered the first non-denominational invocation to the Grand Junction City Council on January 5, 2011."
and finally, a link to an article and an invocation by Herb Silverman who delivered a humanist invocation to the Charleston City Council in 2003: http://secularseasons.org/celebrations/graces.html#invocation
