A CONCURRENT

CONGRATULATING DR. NORMAN P. PEARSON, SR., ON HIS
SILVER ANNIVERSARY AS PASTOR OF NEW PROSPECT
MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH OF WILLIAMSTON.
Whereas, Dr. Norman P. Pearson, Sr., is an ordained minister of the
Gospel and a native of Greenville; and
Whereas, Dr. Pearson is pastor of New Prospect Missionary Baptist
Church in Williamston, where plans are in progress for the joyous
celebration of his twenty-fifth year of service; and
Whereas, of the eleven pastors who have served this wonderful church
during its 124 years of existence, Dr. Pearson's pastorate has been the
longest; and
Whereas, it has been stated that "when the Reverend Pearson
stands in the pulpit with which God charged him, all of the animals in
the field, lions, tigers, and bears, gather around to hear a word from the
Lord"; and
Whereas, Dr. Pearson always has a song in his heart, as he has
established a reputation of being able to reach souls not only through the
word, but with his stirring singing voice and old-time gospel renditions;
and
Whereas, he has served as a soloist for the Progressive National Baptist
Convention and has recorded three albums of gospel music; and
Whereas, his leadership at New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church has
received local, state, and national recognition among Baptists; and
Whereas, he is a superb pastor and is known and admired for his
generosity and his devotion to charitable and civic causes; and
Whereas, we are pleased to have this opportunity to recognize his talents
and to congratulate him. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this
resolution, congratulates Dr. Norman P. Pearson, Sr., on his silver
anniversary as pastor of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church of
Williamston.
