A house RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE CLINTON CHAPEL AME ZION CHURCH IN UNION COUNTY TO FOSTER UNITY AMONG COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS IN THE GREATER UNION AREA.

 

Whereas, the Clinton Chapel AME Zion Church, a nonprofit organization, was established in 1865 by Edward H. Hill. As the church flourished, an annex was added in 1948 to meet the needs of the growing congregation and position the church for future growth; and

 

Whereas, the church's mission is to build a strong nonprofit organization that will bring meaningful Sunday school, Sunday morning worship service, Wednesday night worship service, other worship services, training programs, and outreach to the city, county, and surrounding areas; and

 

Whereas, dedicated to fostering community unity, the Clinton Chapel AME Zion Church partners and provides resources that help families succeed and achieve spiritual growth. The church also hosts workshops that address community leadership, community organization, and teamwork; and

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives values the ardent commitment of the Clinton Chapel AME Zion Church to buttress communities in Union by providing services. 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 the significant contributions of the Clinton Chapel AME Zion Church in Union County to foster unity among community members and leaders in the greater Union area.
