R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The year 2003 marks a new chapter in the history of Spring Tabernacle, as congregants celebrate the opening of a contemporary worship center; and WHEREAS, Founded on February 8, 1973, by Bishop C. G. Green and his family, the tabernacle has experienced tremendous growth since erecting its first sanctuary; over the years, the tabernacle expanded to include five acres, a second building to accommodate the growing membership, and a Family Life Center, complete with gymnasium, fellowship hall, kitchen, classrooms, and offices; and WHEREAS, In 1996, Spring Tabernacle purchased an additional 45 acres on which "Samaritan Village" will be built; this noble endeavor will enable the church to better serve the needs of the community and will include a home for homeless children, a drug and alcohol recovery facility, and nursing care for the elderly; and WHEREAS, The newest addition to the tabernacle campus is a spacious, state-of-the-art worship center capable of seating more than 2,000 people; blessed with warm fellowship and inspirational teaching, the congregation of Spring Tabernacle will continue to grow, and it is a pleasure to join in celebrating the completion of this important new building; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Bishop C. G. Green and the congregation of Spring Tabernacle and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for the church as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
