WHEREAS,
the seeds which were sown by the loving and humble efforts of those devout

and heart of its current shepherd, Pastor John M. Brown, Jr., who answered the

WHEREAS,
the congregation of this church has compiled an unparalleled record of
constructive, compassionate, and humanitarian service which it demonstrates
daily through open minds, open hearts, and open doors; and

destiny in Christ Jesus is a source of strength, inspiration, and direction for
persons of all walks of life and from all economic strata; and

on behalf of persons in need.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
