September 6-7, 2025; and
WHEREAS,
Recognition of this significant milestone is a fitting tribute to
Westlake United Methodist Church, for over the past two centuries, it
has attained a praiseworthy record of service. Since its founding in
1825 as Dover Methodist Episcopal Church, Westlake UMC has thrived
and flourished, and the achievements of this fine house of worship
are a justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection not
only on the church itself but also on its devoted leaders and members
and on Westlake as a whole; and
WHEREAS,
The source of numerous social, religious, and humanitarian projects
and programs, Westlake United Methodist Church has improved the area,
and its tremendous contributions have gained it the esteem and
appreciation of the entire community. We are certain that in the
years to come, the church will maintain the tradition of spiritual
enlightenment that has long been its hallmark; and
WHEREAS,
A church anniversary is a special event that reinforces the enduring
faith of the congregation and its leaders. Indeed, all those
associated with Westlake United Methodist Church have given freely of
their time and energy in support of its various projects and
initiatives, and they are truly worthy of acknowledgement; therefore
be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend
Westlake United Methodist Church on the occasion of its Two Hundredth
Anniversary and extend best wishes for the future; and be it further
RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
authenticated copy of this Resolution to Westlake United Methodist
Church.
