WHEREAS, The members of Greater Vision Church in Houston are |
|
|
marking the 20th anniversary of their church's founding with a |
|
|
homecoming celebration on March 19, 2023; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its organization in 2003, Greater Vision |
|
|
Church has benefited from the dedicated efforts of Pastor L. D. Lee |
|
|
Sr., who established the congregation with 350 members; today, this |
|
|
respected clergyman continues to lead the thriving church, and in |
|
|
carrying out his duties, he draws on the vital support of the GVC |
|
|
deacons and associate ministers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In December 2003, the church purchased property on |
|
|
Westshire Drive that included four buildings on nearly five acres |
|
|
of land; less than a year later, the GVC family officially moved |
|
|
into its new sanctuary at the site, and after a decade and a half of |
|
|
hard work and perseverance, the congregation held a |
|
|
mortgage-burning ceremony on September 9, 2018; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, United by their shared faith and strong traditions, |
|
|
the members of this notable house of worship have established a |
|
|
variety of commendable programs that foster fellowship as well as |
|
|
numerous ministries that offer help to those in need; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Many Houston residents have looked to Greater Vision |
|
|
Church for spiritual guidance over the years, 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 House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 20th anniversary of Greater |
|
|
Vision Church and extend to its members 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. |
