| recognize Inman Christian Center on the occasion of its 100th | ||
| anniversary, which is being celebrated April 13, 2013; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Inman Christian Center traces its roots to an | ||
| organization known as the Mexican Institute of San Antonio that | ||
| was founded by Disciples missionary Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, local | ||
| pastor Dr. Hugh McLellan, and the Christian Women's Board of | ||
| Missions; the institute sought to meet community needs by | ||
| teaching English reading and writing to help area residents | ||
| obtain jobs and by providing child care services, a medical | ||
| clinic, and Bible classes; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The institute later changed its name to the | ||
| Mexican Christian Institute to better reflect its missionary | ||
| efforts and in 1961 was renamed Inman Christian Center in honor | ||
| of its founder; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through the years, Inman Christian Center has | ||
| ministered faithfully to the temporal and spiritual needs of | ||
| countless people; it has continued to provide low-income | ||
| residents with a variety of support and educational services, | ||
| including child care, senior housing, a food pantry, and summer | ||
| recreation programs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The celebration of its 100th anniversary is an | ||
| expression of the center's enduring commitment to providing | ||
| enlightenment and hope to the people it serves; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby extend best wishes for a memorable 100th | ||
| anniversary celebration to all those associated with Inman | ||
| Christian Center; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the center as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
