The Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a resolution honoring Sidney First Presbyterian Church on the occasion of its Bicentennial, marking 200 years of service to the community since its establishment in 1825. The church has played a significant role in the local area, initially serving as a place of worship within a log building that also housed the Shelby County seat and courthouse. Over the years, it has been a source of spiritual inspiration, encouraging its congregation to engage in service, learning, and fellowship.

This milestone celebration allows the church community to reflect on their shared history and the positive impact they have had on local residents. The resolution commends the church for its resilience and commitment to maintaining its faith and values throughout challenges. The Senate expresses its best wishes for the church's continued legacy of faith and fellowship in the future and directs the Clerk of the Senate to provide an authenticated copy of the resolution to the church.
