                       A RESOLUTION
                     Honoring Wayne Street Church
                         on its Bicentennial.
     WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 135th   1
General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to extend special recognition to    2
Wayne Street Church on the hallowed occasion of its Two Hundredth        3
Anniversary; and                                                         4
     WHEREAS, Since its inception in 1824, Wayne Street Church has       5
offered its members the pathway to a more meaningful life by             6
illuminating and demonstrating the precepts on which the church was      7
founded. The spirit of love and Christian fellowship that exists among   8
the parishioners not only prevails within the church edifice itself      9
but also extends beyond those sacred walls to touch the lives of         10
everyone encountered by its devout disciples; and                        11
     WHEREAS, Under the capable leadership of its current pastor, Tim    12
Benjamin, Wayne Street Church has experienced continual growth and       13
provided a source of moral guidance and spiritual motivation for its     14
congregation. Over the years, the church has enhanced the quality of     15
life within St. Marys and the surrounding area, and through its          16
generous efforts, it has earned the gratitude and respect of the many    17
citizens it has so capably served; and                                   18
     WHEREAS, An occasion such as this is an important milestone which   19
represents dedication, commitment, and enduring faith. For two           20
centuries, the members of Wayne Street Church have kept their            21
convictions alive in the St. Marys community, and on this special        22
anniversary, they have accepted the challenge of carrying their          23
beliefs into the future; therefore be it                                 24
    RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of    25
H. R. No. 449                                                     Page 2
