H.R. No. 106
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Each year, Mount Olive Baptist Church in Arlington
  hosts its Unity in the Community citywide worship service; and
         WHEREAS, First held in 2017, Unity in the Community brings
  together Arlington residents of all denominations and walks of life
  for a night of fellowship and music; proceeds from the event benefit
  local charitable organizations; and
         WHEREAS, Mount Olive Baptist has served the Arlington
  community since 1897, when a small group of Black Tarrant County
  residents founded the church at its original location on Indiana
  Street; in order to meet the needs of a growing membership, the
  congregation moved to its current house of worship on West Sanford
  Street in 1989, and in the decades since, the church has expanded to
  include a day care center, a Christian academy, a federal credit
  union, and Arlington New Beginnings, a housing community for the
  elderly; and
         WHEREAS, The congregation's citywide worship service
  provides an opportunity for area Texans to join together on a
  special occasion of fellowship, unity, and hope for our common
  future, and all those who help make this worthwhile endeavor
  possible are indeed deserving of recognition for their dedicated
  efforts; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the annual
  Mount Olive Baptist Church Unity in the Community event and extend
  to everyone in attendance sincere best wishes for a meaningful and
  memorable gathering; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mount Olive Baptist Church as an expression of high
  regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
