Golden commemorated 100 years of faithful service to the spiritual 
needs of its community; and

annual homecoming on the first Sunday in May, the church had much

worship are pastors Wayne McKay, Derle Lee, Jonathan Fitzgerald, 
Gay Polk, Bobby Harris, Louis Strehlow, Clyde Smith, and C. C. 
Haven; and
	WHEREAS, For 100 years, Pilgrim Rest No. 2 Baptist Church in 
Golden has been a blessing in the lives of all who have worshipped 
as its congregants and to those it has served throughout the 
community, and it is a pleasure to join in honoring the church on 
this momentous milestone in its rich history; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Brother James Spurgeon and the 
members of Pilgrim Rest No. 2 Baptist Church of Golden on the 
church's centennial and extend to all involved 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.
