VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
to recognize and honor Elouise Joe as the Mother of the Jamestown Road Church of God and to wish her many more years of joy in service to her church and to God's people.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives has learned that the Jamestown Road Church of God will recognize Elouise Joe as Mother of the church on Sunday, March 10, 2024; and
Whereas, Sister Elouise Joe has been a member of the Jamestown Road Church of God for more than seventy-years from the time she married the late Brother Wille Joe at the age of seventeen; and
Whereas, Sister Elouise Joe served as a Sunday school teacher, Women Missionary president, Pastor Aid Committee chairperson, and church dietitian for many years. She also served as the dietitian for the South Carolina Presbytery of the Church of God for over twenty years; and
Whereas, Sister Elouise Joe is the proud mother of eleven children, and she has been blessed to see the continuation of her loving family in more than ninety loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her greatest joy is to be in the presence of her beloved family and friends, especially her grandchildren on any occasion; and
Whereas, Sister Elouise Joe has used her hands to share God's love with all the people she knows by cooking fabulous meals and baking delicious cakes. Preparing meals for others was her way of sharing God's love with many people until she retired. Even to this day, it gives her great joy to share of her earthly goods to bless others; and
Whereas, Elouise Joe is a mother figure, and her devout life serves to instruct many individuals who call her mom but who are not her children. Over the years, she has raised with love and care many youths who needed a safe place to call home; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates that Sunday, March 10, 2024, the Jamestown Road Church of God, family, and friends are honoring Sister Elouise Joe as the Mother of their church. "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised" (Proverbs 31:29-30). 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 Elouise Joe as the Mother of the Jamestown Road Church of God and wish her many more years of joy in service to her church and to God's people.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Elouise Joe.
