This resolution, originating from the House of Representatives, formally recognizes and commends Haygood Memorial United Methodist Church for its 100 years of dedicated service to its congregation and the wider community, particularly in the Morningside neighborhood of Atlanta since the 1920s. The resolution highlights the church's rich history, its namesake honoring influential Georgians Bishop Atticus Haygood and his sister Laura Haygood, and its ongoing commitment to humanitarian efforts through various ministries and support for organizations like Intown Cares and Atlanta Habitat for Humanity. It also acknowledges the church's significant impact through its Weekday Children's Ministries, which cares for over 200 children, and its Haygood Hoops youth sports initiative. The resolution further directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of this recognition to the church as it celebrates its centennial anniversary on March 22, 2026.
