| H.R. No. 462 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The members of Greater Vision Church in Houston are | ||
| marking the 20th anniversary of their church's founding with a | ||
| homecoming celebration on March 19, 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since its organization in 2003, Greater Vision | ||
| Church has benefited from the dedicated efforts of Pastor L. D. Lee | ||
| Sr., who established the congregation with 350 members; today, this | ||
| respected clergyman continues to lead the thriving church, and in | ||
| carrying out his duties, he draws on the vital support of the GVC | ||
| deacons and associate ministers; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In December 2003, the church purchased property on | ||
| Westshire Drive that included four buildings on nearly five acres | ||
| of land; less than a year later, the GVC family officially moved | ||
| into its new sanctuary at the site, and after a decade and a half of | ||
| hard work and perseverance, the congregation held a | ||
| mortgage-burning ceremony on September 9, 2018; and | ||
| WHEREAS, United by their shared faith and strong traditions, | ||
| the members of this notable house of worship have established a | ||
| variety of commendable programs that foster fellowship as well as | ||
| numerous ministries that offer help to those in need; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Many Houston residents have looked to Greater Vision | ||
| Church for spiritual guidance over the years, and it is a pleasure | ||
| to join in honoring the church at this special time in its rich | ||
| history; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 20th anniversary of Greater | ||
| Vision Church 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. | ||
