House Joint Resolution 623, sponsored by Lynn, recognizes Williamson Chapel CME Church in Wilson County as it celebrates its 175th anniversary. The resolution highlights the church's significant role in the community, particularly within one of the oldest Black American communities in West Wilson County, known as the Needmore community. Established between 1840 and 1850, the church has a rich history, including the donation of land by the Mastman family for its construction. Over the years, the church has undergone various transformations and has been led by numerous ministers who have contributed to its growth and development, including the installation of modern amenities and the expansion of its programs.

As the church commemorates this milestone, the resolution expresses gratitude for the congregation's dedication and service to the community and the state of Tennessee. It acknowledges the church's ongoing commitment to spiritual growth and outreach under the current leadership of Reverend Dr. Lynn Hargrow, Sr. The resolution concludes by honoring the members of Williamson Chapel CME Church for their exemplary service and wishing them continued success and happiness in their mission.
