A RESOLUTION

Honoring Piqua Baptist Church on the occasion of its Centennial.

       WHEREAS,  The members of the Senate of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to extend special recognition to Piqua Baptist Church on the hallowed occasion of its One Hundredth Anniversary; and

       WHEREAS,  Established from the merging of two local congregations in 1911, Piqua Baptist Church has offered its members the pathway to a more meaningful life by illuminating and demonstrating the precepts on which the church was founded ten decades ago. The spirit of love and Christian fellowship that exists among the parishioners prevails not only within the church edifice itself but also extends beyond those sacred walls to touch the lives of everyone encountered by these devout disciples; and

       WHEREAS,  Under the capable leadership of the church's pastors, both past and present, Piqua Baptist Church has experienced continual growth and has provided a source of moral guidance and spiritual motivation for each of its members. Without question, the church has enhanced the quality of life within the surrounding area, and it has earned the gratitude and respect of the many citizens it has so capably served; and

       WHEREAS,  An occasion such as this is an important milestone that represents dedication, commitment, and enduring faith. For one hundred years, the members of Piqua Baptist Church have kept their faith alive in the Piqua community, and on this special anniversary, the congregation has accepted the challenge of carrying its beliefs into the future; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the Senate of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate Piqua Baptist Church on its Centennial and pay tribute to all those joining in the celebration of this joyous event; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to Piqua Baptist Church.
