church. Mount Zion was rebuilt in 1954; and

W
hereas, under the
pastorate of the Reverend Dr. Jeffrey Hunter, the church engages and encourages
others through a life-changing journey. The church's mission is to nurture a
diverse and welcoming community, committed to following fearlessly wherever God
leads them, and to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of
Calhoun and the world; and

W
hereas, the members of
the South Carolina Senate appreciate the dedication and commitment of Mount
Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church to serving the people and the State of
South Carolina. Now, therefore,

B
e it resolved by the
Senate:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Mount Zion African
Methodist Episcopal Church upon the occasion of its Homecoming and its one
hundred eighteenth anniversary and commend the church for its many years of
dedicated service to the Calhoun community and the people and the State of
