A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending Chattahoochee United Methodist Church on the occasion of its 150th anniversary; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the seeds which were sown in Robertstown, Georgia, by the loving and humble efforts of the devoted original worshipers of Chattahoochee United Methodist Church and its original pastor Reverend L.G. Norton have blossomed, establishing a rich tradition and history; and

WHEREAS, established on May 18, 1860, when John Trammel deeded three acres of land on a rise above the west bank of the Chattahoochee River north of Robertstown, Chattahoochee United Methodist Church's original trustees included Reverend John T. Richardson, H.H. Conley, Benjamin Allison, Charles L. Williams, Jerome England, James Gregory, and John Trammel; and

WHEREAS, this amazing place of worship has grown under the divine direction of numerous pastors over the years, allowing the Word of God to spread throughout the community; and

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

WHEREAS, members of Chattahoochee United Methodist Church have a sincere desire to serve the Lord and are wholeheartedly committed to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ; and

WHEREAS, this momentous occasion is to be celebrated on May 23, 2010, with Homecoming festivities to include an old fashioned lunch and distinguished speakers representing the past, present, and future of the Church; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this enduring example of God's message of peace and love be recognized and congratulated for its innumerable good works rendered on behalf of persons in need.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize the rich history of Chattahoochee United Methodist Church, commend its 150 years of dedicated service to the Lord and community, and extend their warmest best wishes for its continued growth and success.

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 Chattahoochee United Methodist Church's Reverend Jack Summers.
