VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR ROUND O BAPTIST CHURCH, IN DARLINGTON COUNTY, ON THE OCCASION OF ITS ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY, AND TO WISH ITS FAITHFUL CONGREGATION AND PASTOR MANY MORE YEARS OF SERVICE TO GOD AND THEIR CHURCH.
Whereas, founded in 1883, the Round O Baptist Church, in Darlington County, will celebrate its one hundred twenty-fifth anniversary with festivities beginning July 31, 2008, and ending August 3, 2008; and
Whereas, the Reverend Isaiah Williams, Deacon Arthur McDaniel, and Deacon Daniel Poole founded and organized the church, which was built on land that was once part of the Round O Plantation and was donated by Mr. Major Lucas; and
Whereas, the church grew and prospered while doing the Lord's work in its community, and in 1999 a beautiful new sanctuary was dedicated to the glory of God; and
Whereas, the Round O Baptist Church has served as a vital part of its community in numerous ways, including embracing and ministering to all of God's children, providing wholesome activities and services to community members, supporting overseas mission work, offering weekly Bible study, and sponsoring the promotion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all areas of life; and
Whereas, the Round O Baptist Church's rich history precedes a richer future as the church continues to do God's will as it serves its community and enhances the quality of life in Darlington County. As it looks to the future, Round O Baptist Church will pause to reflect on its first one hundred twenty-five years during festivities that include guest speakers, an abundance of delicious food, a family and friends gathering, a church banquet, and a special church service. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Round O Baptist Church, in Darlington County, on the occasion of its one hundred twenty-fifth anniversary, and wish its faithful congregation and pastor many more years of service to God and their church.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Reverend M. A. McMillan, Sr., on behalf of the congregation of Round O Baptist Church.
