to the hopeless, fed the needy and empowered our community for the past 
one hundred fourteen (114) years; and
  Whereas, this Church has produced many spiritual warriors, people of 
compassion, people of great courage, fearless leaders and servants to 
all, but most of all visionaries who have shared not only with their 
Church, but with DeKalb County their passion to spread the gospel of 
Jesus Christ; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia
