 COMMEMORATING the 171st Anniversary of the First

 WHEREAS, Religious institutions, and the many spiritual, social, and
educational benefits they confer, play a vital role in the development
of the moral fabric of a responsible citizenry; and

 WHEREAS, It is the tradition of this State and this Nation to pay
tribute to those institutions and individuals who have contributed to
the ethical and spiritual values of their communities; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate the 171st Anniversary of the First Baptist Church of
Bronxville, New York, to be celebrated on Sunday, March 30, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, The First Baptist Church of Bronxville, New York, has been
a beacon of faith, hope, and service since its founding in 1854,
standing as a welcoming house of worship that embraces individuals from
diverse cultural and racial backgrounds; and

 WHEREAS, The First Baptist Church has been steadfast in its
commitment to spiritual growth, community service, and the teachings of
Jesus Christ, demonstrating unwavering dedication to uplifting
individuals and families; and

inspired by Joshua 1:9, the First Baptist Church continues to stand firm
in faith, courage, and service; and

 WHEREAS, With a deep commitment to reaching all people, fostering
fellowship, and glorifying God, the First Baptist Church remains a
pillar of hope and transformation in the community; as we celebrate this
historic anniversary, we honor its rich legacy, unwavering mission, and
the countless lives touched by its ministry; and

 WHEREAS, Today, under the luminous direction of Reverend Lamont S.

of tomorrow, prepared to meet the challenges of the coming decades,
while retaining that spiritual resolve which has so characterized its
glorious past; and

enduring religious institutions and to bring such institutions to the
attention of the people of this Empire State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 171st Anniversary of the First Baptist Church of
Bronxville, New York, confident that this commemoration reflects the
