WHEREAS, The members of People's Missionary Baptist Church in | ||
Dallas are joining together on April 12, 2019, to honor Pastor | ||
S. M. Wright II for 24 years of dedicated service to their | ||
congregation; and | ||
WHEREAS, Pastor Wright assumed the pulpit at People's | ||
Missionary Baptist Church from his father, the late Reverend | ||
Sylvester Wright Sr., who led the house of worship from 1957 until | ||

to support children and families in need in the Dallas/Fort Worth | ||
area; to that end, it provides assistance through hunger relief, | ||
education, health and social services, and economic empowerment, | ||
and it also sponsors a host of noteworthy events, including the | ||
Thanksgiving Day Giveaway and Christmas in the Park; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his far-reaching spiritual and civic | ||
endeavors, Pastor S. M. Wright II has made a lasting and positive | ||
difference in many lives, and the occasion of his 24th pastoral | ||
anniversary provides a welcome opportunity to recognize his | ||
outstanding record of service; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor S. M. Wright II on his 24th anniversary as | ||
pastor of People's Missionary Baptist Church and extend to him | ||
sincere best wishes for continued success in his important work; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Pastor Wright as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
