WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
join the citizens of Millsap in celebrating the dedication of | ||
Millsap United Methodist Church as a Recorded Texas Historic | ||
Landmark on April 26, 2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, Millsap United Methodist Church traces its roots | ||
to a congregation that formed in 1875, five years before Millsap | ||
became an established town; the name of the church changed | ||
several times through the years, however, the church continuously | ||
supported the national and international programs of the | ||
Methodist religion; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under the leadership of the Reverend G. M. Cloud, | ||
the current church building was erected in 1924; the brick | ||
structure was built in the shape of a cross in a style known as | ||
cruciform architecture; due to the historical significance of | ||
the building, the church received approval for a Recorded Texas | ||
Historic Landmark designation in 2014; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through the years, Millsap United Methodist | ||
Church has continued to grow and to play a vital role in the life | ||
of the Millsap community, and it is truly fitting that the church | ||
receive recognition for its commitment to preserving its history | ||
and its longtime service to the community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the clergy and congregation of | ||
Millsap United Methodist Church and extend to all best wishes for | ||
a memorable Recorded Texas Historic Landmark dedication | ||
ceremony; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the church as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
Estes | ||
