The bill, H. 5185, is a House Resolution celebrating the 160th anniversary of the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, which was established on February 11, 1866. The resolution acknowledges the church's rich history, including its founding under the leadership of Reverend I.P. Brockenton and the contributions of various pastors over the years. It highlights the church's evolution from meeting in homes and brush arbors to acquiring land and constructing a permanent worship space, as well as significant improvements made during the tenures of past leaders.
The resolution commends the church for its dedicated service to the Darlington community, particularly noting its initiatives aimed at education and support for the disadvantaged, such as the establishment of Macedonia Life Skills 501(c)(3) and various community programs. The House of Representatives expresses its warmest congratulations to the congregation for their longstanding commitment to ministry and community service as they celebrate this historic milestone.
