A
RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending the Saint Philip African Methodist Episcopal Church Choir #1
on its 100th anniversary; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Saint Philip African Methodist Episcopal Church was founded by the late Reverend
W. J. Williams on April 2, 1910, and the church's first choir was led by the
late Brother Matthew Peters; and
WHEREAS,
the seeds which were sown by the loving and humble efforts of those devout
original singers have grown into a landmark institution under the guiding hands
and hearts of its many presidents, directors, and choir members;
and
WHEREAS,
Choir #1 and its members are humbly committed to providing music that aids and
promotes the worship of God; proclaiming through music, the gospel of Jesus
Christ, so that unbelievers may seek to know Him; and
WHEREAS,
the tremendous talent of Choir #1 is well known throughout Georgia and the
Southeast as the choir has sung for engagements located at Georgia's Fernbank
Museum of Natural History, the Tennessee Aquarium, and the opening of the Civil
Rights Museum in Montgomery, Alabama; and
WHEREAS,
the loving spiritual assistance offered by this choir as it leads people to
worship God through prayer sung through the voices of angels is a source of
strength, inspiration, and direction for those who hear and experience the
untold beauty of their heavenly harmonies; and
WHEREAS,
it is abundantly fitting and proper that this enduring example of God's message
of peace and love through the healing power of music be recognized for its
innumerable good works and congratulated upon its growth and continued
success.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body commend the Saint Philip African Methodist Episcopal Church Choir #1
for the many decades of steadfast, unselfish, and loving service to the people
of this state and to God; congratulate them upon the occasion of their 100th
anniversary; and extend to the choir their best wishes for continued growth and
loving service.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to President
Carlton Allen, Sr., and Director Dr. Anthony Stinson.
