are pleased to learn that Greater Gethsemane Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ is
celebrating its seventieth
Whereas, in 1953, under the leadership of the late Bishop Lloyd E.

On Saturday, August 10, 2002, the new edifice was opened on East Old Marion Highway in Florence, and the congregation celebrated with a glorious grand opening and dedication service; and Whereas, today the congregation continues to praise, honor, and glorify God for His faithfulness over the past seventy years. They honor the memory of their founder and of their cofounder, the late Mother Susanna Swaringer, as well as the many pioneers who blazed trails which they continue to follow; and
Whereas, the congregation is grateful to God for those saints who have grown up in the church and for those who have become a part of the ministry under the leadership of the current Senior Pastor, Bishop Kenneth James Swaringer, and the church's First Lady, Mother-Elect Brenda B. Swaringer; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives values the many
ministries of Greater Gethsemane and those who offer their spiritual energy and
encouragement to fulfill the church's mission, and the members extend warmest
congratulations on the occasion of the church's historic
