SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 131
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of Church on the Rock in Daingerfield |
|
celebrated the 25th anniversary of their church's founding on |
|
September 25, 2016; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1991, the church was organized by about a dozen |
|
members; they soon appointed co-pastors, Dr. Ed Brockway, who |
|
later became associate pastor, and Randy Seybert, who has led the |
|
house of worship as senior pastor since the early 1990s; Pastor |
|
Seybert is supported in all his endeavors by his wife, Elizabeth |
|
Seybert, whose many responsibilities include administration, |
|
teaching, counseling, and oversight of the ladies' ministry; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Members met in a private home before renting a vacant |
|
church building; originally known as Christian Temple Church, it |
|
became an affiliate of Church on the Rock--International in 1996; |
|
the following year, the congregation purchased a building to |
|
renovate, and the first service was held in the new home on Easter |
|
Sunday in 2000; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Countless Daingerfield residents have looked to |
|
the Church on the Rock for spiritual guidance over the past |
|
quarter century, and it is a pleasure to join in honoring the |
|
church at this special time in its rich history; now, therefore, |
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commemorate the 25th anniversary of the |
|
Church on the Rock and extend to the congregation sincere best |
|
wishes for many more years of shared prayer and fellowship; and, |
|
be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the church as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
