|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the members of the New Light Church in Dallas as they |
|
|
celebrate the church's 10th anniversary on May 19, 2013; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the guidance of pastors Shaun and Marian |
|
|
Rabb, this extraordinarily active congregation has flourished |
|
|
and has shared its blessings with others in the Dallas |
|
|
community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The church has cultivated a variety of projects |
|
|
that afford their recipients both spiritual and physical |
|
|
sustenance; these include the provision of free school supplies |
|
|

|
|
visitations to the elderly, and the assembly of an Angel Tree, |
|
|
which benefits the children of incarcerated parents; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Moreover, the pastors of New Light Church |
|
|
continue to serve as outstanding role models; in addition to |
|
|
their shared ministry, the Reverend Shaun Rabb works as a |
|
|
television reporter in the Dallas area, and co-pastor Marian |
|
|
Rabb serves as assistant chief of police for the City of |
|
|
Duncanville and is the first African American woman to hold |
|
|
that position; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With more than 300 active members, the New Light |
|
|
Church is a shining example of the positive role that a devoted |
|
|
and proactive congregation may serve in its community; the |
|
|
church's members and pastors are indeed deserving of praise for |
|
|
their steadfast commitment to their faith and their city; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |

|
