A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH OF BLACKSBURG ON THE OCCASION OF ITS HISTORIC ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY, AND TO COMMEND THE CHURCH FOR A CENTURY OF SERVICE TO GOD AND THE COMMUNITY.
Whereas, having been founded in 1911, Pleasant Hill Baptist Church of Blacksburg is celebrating its historic one hundredth anniversary in 2011; and
Whereas, a century ago, Pleasant Hill Baptist Church of Blacksburg was organized for the worship of Almighty God. Through all the challenges of the years, Pleasant Hill has continued to worship and serve the Lord, most recently in the midst of the ravages of a fire that necessitated rebuilding, as well as the acquiring of a new organ and new pianos, among other items. The joy of the saints of Pleasant Hill Baptist was great as they celebrated the dedication of their newly rebuilt facility; and
Whereas, standing on the faith and strength of its early pastors and members, Pleasant Hill Baptist Church's present congregation "presses toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:14), continuing to preach and teach the Word of God; and
Whereas, Pleasant Hill Baptist Church has been a beacon of light and a community worship center in the Blacksburg area for one hundred years, and, God willing, will continue that tradition for many more years of worship and service. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and congratulate Pleasant Hill Baptist Church of Blacksburg on the occasion of its historic one hundredth anniversary, and commend the church for a century of service to God and the community.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church.
