H.R. No. 432
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Reverend Danny Davis and the members of Jordan
Grove Missionary Baptist Church (MBC) in Houston are celebrating
the 126th anniversary of their church on July 24, 2005; and
WHEREAS, The congregation traces its roots to 1879, when the
Reverend W. W. Navigan organized the charter members, who initially
met in a two-room house at St. Charles and Pearce until a larger
building could be constructed; today, the church home is located at
2603 Anita Street in the city's historic Third Ward; and
WHEREAS, In 1993, when he stepped into the pulpit at Jordan
Grove, Reverend Davis became only the eighth pastor since the
church's founding; among his many accomplishments are the
establishment of a church nursery and a 7:45 a.m. Sunday service as
well as a number of renovation projects; and
WHEREAS, Jordan Grove MBC has been a blessing in the lives of
generations of Texans, and it is most appropriate to join its
members in honoring the church on this special occasion in its rich
history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Reverend
Danny Davis and the members of Jordan Grove Missionary Baptist
Church on the 126th anniversary of the church's founding and extend
to them sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable
observance; 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.
