	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of Leander Presbyterian Church are
	celebrating the 160th anniversary of their church's founding on
	February 12, 2017; and
	WHEREAS, Since its organization as Pleasant Hill
	Presbyterian Church on February 14, 1857, this congregation has
	played a vital role in its community, providing members with myriad
	opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship, and outreach; and
	WHEREAS, The church was originally located in Bagdad, one
	mile to the west; when the railroad bypassed that town in 1882,
	residents began to move to the new town of Leander, which had been
	founded on the rail line; parishioners of Pleasant Hill erected a
	church building in Leander in 1884, on land that was later deeded to
	church trustees by member Sarah J. Walker; and
	WHEREAS, Through the years, the congregation has benefited
	from the dedicated efforts of a number of outstanding clergy and
	church leaders, including its first minister, the Reverend R. M.
	Overstreet, and first ruling elder, Samuel D. Carothers; today,
	that tradition of service is continued by the Reverend Robert
	McElwaine; and
	WHEREAS, Leander Presbyterian Church has long served as a
	source of inspiration and guidance to those who worship there, and
	its continued existence is a testament to the unwavering commitment
	of its members and clergy, both past and present; now, therefore, be
	it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby commemorate the 160th anniversary of the
	founding of Leander Presbyterian Church and extend to all those
	associated with the church sincere best wishes for the future; and,
	be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the church as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
