and

WHEREAS,
Sidney First Presbyterian Church has been an important place of
worship in the community since 1825, first serving area residents in
a log building that held the Shelby County seat, courthouse, jail,
and church before Sidney was an organized village and eventually
growing to the institution it is today. For the past two centuries,
this House of God has served as a tremendous source of spiritual
inspiration for its congregation, and it has encouraged countless
people to pursue lives of service, learning, and fellowship; and

WHEREAS,
This auspicious celebration offers the members of Sidney First
Presbyterian Church the opportunity to share their memories and to
reflect on the benefits of life in their close-knit community. Under
the guidance of many fine religious leaders, both past and present,
the parishioners have expanded on the best traditions of the past to
ensure a benevolent and prosperous future, and they can be proud of
the remarkable examples they have set through their values and
principles; and

WHEREAS,
The members of Sidney First Presbyterian Church have stood strong in
the face of numerous challenges, and they have had a positive impact
on the lives of many local residents. Indeed, this milestone
represents their dedication and commitment to keep their faith alive
in the surrounding community, and all those associated with this
beacon of society are deserving of high praise; therefore be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, applaud Sidney First Presbyterian
Church on its Two Hundredth Anniversary and offer best wishes as it
upholds its rich legacy of faith and fellowship in the years to come;
and be it further

RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of
this Resolution to Sidney First Presbyterian Church.
