BY: Senator KAPLAN

        COMMEMORATING   the   101st   Anniversary  of  the
        Lutheran Church of Our Saviour of Mineola, New York

  WHEREAS, Religious institutions, and the many spiritual, social  and
educational  benefits  they confer, play a vital role in the development
of the moral fabric of a responsible citizenry; and

  WHEREAS, It is the tradition of this State and this  Nation  to  pay
tribute  to  those  institutions and individuals who have contributed to
the ethical and spiritual values of their communities; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern  and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
commemorate the 101st Anniversary of the Lutheran Church of Our  Saviour
of  Mineola, New York, to be observed with a special recognition service
at the church and a celebratory dinner on Sunday,  March  27,  2022,  in
Westbury, New York; and

  WHEREAS, The Lutheran Church of Our Saviour was founded in 1921 with
Walter  E.  Schwolert  as  the  first pastor; since then, the Church has
diligently worked to spread  the  gospel  and  has  strived  to  make  a
positive  difference  to the residents in not only Mineola, but also the
surrounding villages; and

  WHEREAS, As a reflection of the determination and dedication to  its
community,  the  Lutheran  Church of Our Savior has become the mother of
three established congregations, and provides many other  services  such
as  school  and  summer programs, childcare for working parents, and the
Lutheran Counseling Center for those in need; and

  WHEREAS, Today, the Lutheran Church of Our  Saviour  stands  on  the
threshold  of  tomorrow,  prepared  to meet the challenges of the coming
decades,  while  retaining  that  spiritual   resolve   which   has   so
characterized its glorious past; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is the custom of this Legislative Body to take note of
enduring religious institutions and to bring such  institutions  to  the
attention of the people of this Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 101st Anniversary of the Lutheran Church of Our  Saviour
of  Mineola,  New  York,  confident that this commemoration reflects the
belief in those values which enhance the dignity and  purpose  of  life;
and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Lutheran Church of Our Saviour.
