WHEREAS,
Turner Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church was founded originally in 1854
in Cobb County; and
WHEREAS,
the seeds which were sown by the loving and humble efforts of those devout
worshipers have blossomed into a landmark institution under the guiding hands
and hearts of its pastors, especially Pastor Kenneth Marcus and Assistant Pastor
Cassandra Young Marcus who answered the call to service and leadership in 1988;
and
WHEREAS,
the congregation of this church has compiled an unparalleled record of
constructive, compassionate, and humanitarian service which it demonstrates
daily through open minds, open hearts, and open doors; and
WHEREAS,
the unmatched spiritual assistance offered by this church as it continues to
grow and lead people worldwide to experience the fullness of their ordained
destiny in Christ Jesus is a source of strength, inspiration, and direction for
persons of all walks of life and from all economic strata; and
WHEREAS,
it is abundantly fitting and proper that this enduring example of
God́s
message of peace and love be recognized for its innumerable good works rendered
on behalf of persons in need and congratulated upon its growth which has most
fittingly resulted in a relocation of the church and facilities to its new
location at the corner of North Marietta Parkway and Fairground
Street.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body congratulate and commend Turner Chapel African Methodist Episcopal
Church for the many, many decades of steadfast, unselfish, and loving service to
the people of this state and extend to the congregation their best wishes for
continued growth and service to the community.

IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
