1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of | ||||||
3 | Representatives wish to congratulate the Christ Temple Baptist | ||||||
4 | Church on the occasion of its 60th anniversary; and
| ||||||
5 | WHEREAS, In 1959, Rev. Princeton H. McKinney noticed a | ||||||
6 | building near the intersection of 162nd and Wood Boulevard in | ||||||
7 | Markham and was inspired to found a church; on May 9, 1959, he, | ||||||
8 | along with other congregants, founded the Christ Temple Baptist | ||||||
9 | Church; and
| ||||||
10 | WHEREAS, By the fall of 1963, the existing building was | ||||||
11 | becoming too small to accommodate the growing membership; the | ||||||
12 | building was expanded and plans were made to construct a new | ||||||
13 | church; the ground breaking ceremony for the new building took | ||||||
14 | place April 22, 1964, Palm Sunday; in August 1964, the first | ||||||
15 | service at the new church was held; and
| ||||||
16 | WHEREAS, Memorial services for Dr. Martin Luther Jr. were | ||||||
17 | conducted beginning in 1970 and continued throughout the
years; | ||||||
18 | the church's concern for civil affairs is well documented with | ||||||
19 | photographs taken of many elected public officials speaking at
| ||||||
20 | the church, including the late Mayor Harold Washington, | ||||||
21 | Presidential Candidate Jesse Jackson, and many others; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, Christ Temple Baptist has always been concerned | ||||||
2 | not only with the spiritual well-being of its worshippers but | ||||||
3 | with their total well-being and has created programs, | ||||||
4 | activities, and ministries to serve their members and the | ||||||
5 | community; therefore, be it
| ||||||
6 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
7 | HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
8 | we congratulate the Christ Temple Baptist Church on its 60th | ||||||
9 | anniversary, and we wish them many more wonderful years; and be | ||||||
10 | it further
| ||||||
11 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
12 | presented to Christ Temple Baptist Church as a symbol of our | ||||||
13 | respect and esteem.
