Bill > S0666

This resolution celebrates the 150-year history of Seneca Presbyterian Church, acknowledging its significant contributions to the Seneca community and South Carolina. The church was officially organized on October 30, 1875, with twelve charter members, and initially shared a "Union Church" with Methodists, Baptists, and Episcopalians before building its own sanctuary in 1883. The resolution highlights the church's growth over the decades, including the construction of new buildings in 1917 and 1924, and notes that its first reverend was Josiah McLeod Seabrook, who served from 1884 to 1888. The Senate recognizes the church's commitment to a "thoughtful faith that engages the mind and the heart" and will commemorate its anniversary with a Kirking of the Tartans Anniversary Worship Service on October 26, 2025. The resolution ultimately congratulates the church on its 150-year milestone and commends its ongoing dedication to serving the local community and the state of South Carolina.
