Hopkins, Reverend Andrew Richbourg, Reverend Daniel Boyd, Reverend William Lowman, Reverend Spencer Adams, Reverend Pelham Jones, Reverend Harrison Gallman, Reverend Westbury H. Neal, and its current pastor, Reverend Blakely N. Scott; and
Whereas, its first sanctuary was completed in 1890, rebuilt in 1959, and renovated in 1968 and 1986. Planning for the construction of a new sanctuary began in 1995; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are delighted to learn that on June 24, 2001, Reverend Blakely N. Scott and the congregation of Zion Mount Moriah Baptist Church will celebrate the dedication of its new sanctuary. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
