| H.R. No. 106 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Each year, Mount Olive Baptist Church in Arlington | ||
| hosts its Unity in the Community citywide worship service; and | ||
| WHEREAS, First held in 2017, Unity in the Community brings | ||
| together Arlington residents of all denominations and walks of life | ||
| for a night of fellowship and music; proceeds from the event benefit | ||
| local charitable organizations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mount Olive Baptist has served the Arlington | ||
| community since 1897, when a small group of Black Tarrant County | ||
| residents founded the church at its original location on Indiana | ||
| Street; in order to meet the needs of a growing membership, the | ||
| congregation moved to its current house of worship on West Sanford | ||
| Street in 1989, and in the decades since, the church has expanded to | ||
| include a day care center, a Christian academy, a federal credit | ||
| union, and Arlington New Beginnings, a housing community for the | ||
| elderly; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The congregation's citywide worship service | ||
| provides an opportunity for area Texans to join together on a | ||
| special occasion of fellowship, unity, and hope for our common | ||
| future, and all those who help make this worthwhile endeavor | ||
| possible are indeed deserving of recognition for their dedicated | ||
| efforts; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the annual | ||
| Mount Olive Baptist Church Unity in the Community event and extend | ||
| to everyone in attendance sincere best wishes for a meaningful and | ||
| memorable gathering; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mount Olive Baptist Church as an expression of high | ||
| regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
| Turner of Tarrant | ||
