||
WHEREAS, The members of First Baptist Church of Olney | ||
celebrated the 120th anniversary of their church's founding on June | ||
10, 2018; and | ||
WHEREAS, In June 1898, eight charter members met in the | ||
Methodist church to organize a new congregation with the assistance | ||
of a Baptist missionary; First Baptist grew along with the town, and | ||
through the years, it has benefited from the dedicated efforts of | ||
many outstanding clergymen, including Senior Pastor Chad | ||
Edgington, who has led the congregation since 2013; and | ||
WHEREAS, United by their shared faith and strong traditions, | ||
the members of this notable house of worship support a variety of | ||
commendable initiatives, including mission work at home and abroad; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Countless Olney residents have looked to First | ||
Baptist Church for spiritual enrichment and guidance through the | ||
years, and it is appropriate to take this opportunity to recognize | ||
the church; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 120th anniversary of First | ||
Baptist Church of Olney and extend to its members 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. |
