SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 640

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased 
to recognize Spring Antioch Baptist Church on the occasion of 
its sixth anniversary; and

	WHEREAS, The Spring Antioch Baptist Church has its origins
with members of a Bible study group who began meeting in the 
home of Patrick Daigle on January 11, 1999; the Bible study group
continued to grow, and on March 29, 1999, the Reverend E. A. Wilson
announced that he intended to organize a church in the Spring 
community and use the study group as the core body; and

	WHEREAS, Members of the study group were enthusiastic about
following the lead of Reverend Wilson, which included a detour 
through the Bordersville community where they began a street 
ministry; seven months later, they moved into a beautiful new 
church building and had their first service on December 3, 1999; 
and

	WHEREAS, The church has continued to grow and undertake 
many worthy projects in the community; through its many ministries,
it provides services for people of all ages; and

	WHEREAS, The Spring Antioch Baptist Church has been a source
of strength for its members during times of hardships and in times
of bereavement; it offers both the hope of the Gospel message and 
the practical demonstration of it; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
79th Legislature, hereby extend best wishes to the clergy and 
members of Spring Antioch Baptist Church for a memorable sixth 
anniversary celebration; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
