Recognition of this significant milestone is a fitting tribute to
Lakewood United Methodist Church, for over the past century and a
half, it has attained a praiseworthy record of service. The

members, and on the Lakewood community; and

The source of important social, religious, and humanitarian projects
and programs, Lakewood United Methodist Church has enhanced the
quality of life for many since its inception in 1876, and its

the countless citizens it has so capably served. 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,
The members of the Lakewood United Methodist Church have long been
actively involved in, and concerned about, area events, and this

built on the best traditions of the past to ensure a peaceful and
robust future; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
