A senate RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE New Hope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS one hundredth ANNIVERSARY AND TO COMMEND the church FOR ITS MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE burton COMMUNITY AND THE PEOPLE AND THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize New Hope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) as it celebrates this important milestone on January 22, 2023; and
Whereas, in 1923, God gave a group of dynamic leaders a vision to help establish a permanent place of worship after migrating from "up the country" to Burton, South Carolina in search of better employment, resulting in the New Hope Christian Church being established; and
Whereas, this celebration will be a time for church members to reflect on the past, give thanks for the present, and eagerly anticipate the future; and
Whereas, the church's first worship services were held under an oak tree. The church founders' employers donated land for the church and the church's first structure was built using wood donated from an old mill; and
Whereas, in later years, it appears that God gave each new pastor a call to serve and a vision to do something that would improve and enrich the church family; and
Whereas, New Hope Christian Church has continued to advance and grow. Its members were blessed to become a part of the South Carolina Region of Christian Churches, Disciples of Christ, and is now called New Hope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) to distinguish itself from the other Christian churches in the area; and
Whereas, New Hope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has continued to be blessed and has undergone many transformations to build their present sanctuary; and
Whereas, one hundred years later, the church stands as a welcoming fellowship, striving to be faithful in worship and discipleship, reaching into the community with the good news of Jesus Christ; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of New Hope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) to serving the people and the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate New Hope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) upon the occasion of its one hundredth anniversary and commend the church for its many years of dedicated service to the Burton community and the people and the State of South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the leaders of New Hope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
