play a vital role in the life of the community; and | ||

invaluable source of strength for church members in times of | ||
hardship and bereavement and a place of inspirational fellowship | ||
in times of plenty; and | ||
WHEREAS, The celebration of the church's 160th anniversary | ||
is an opportunity for all to reflect on its rich history and on | ||
the ministries it has established to the benefit of its | ||
congregation and the community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby extend best wishes to the clergy and members | ||
of Leander Presbyterian Church on the joyous occasion of its | ||
160th anniversary; and, be it further | ||
