This resolution commends the Rose of Sharon Apostolic Church in Waverly for its 90 years of service, acknowledging its role in providing spiritual guidance, fostering worship and fellowship, and engaging in meaningful community outreach. The resolution highlights the church's founding in 1935 by Elder E.L. Collins, its growth leading to multiple building expansions, and its leadership under various pastors, including the current head, Bishop Tyrone Harper, Sr., for the past 25 years. It specifically recognizes the church's charitable programs supporting local youth and families, its annual community giveaway since 2010 which involves partnerships with other organizations, and its overall profound impact on the Tri-Cities region through the leadership of Bishop Harper and Lady Elder Starria Harper and the dedication of its members. The General Assembly, through this resolution, expresses its admiration for the church's contributions and directs the Clerk of the Senate to prepare a copy for presentation to the church.
