                               By Representative Kumar

       A RESOLUTION to honor and congratulate the congregation of Head's Free Will Baptist
Church upon its 175th anniversary.

       WHEREAS, the many fine churches across this state constitute an institutional
foundation for an orderly and just society for all Tennesseans, and their dedicated service to
God and humanity is the bedrock upon which our state and nation are founded; and

       WHEREAS, it is appropriate that the members of this General Assembly should
recognize those venerable religious institutions and their congregations that, through their
unflagging capacity for love, dedication of spirit, and faith in God, strive to enrich the lives of
people in their communities; and

       WHEREAS, one such dynamic and historic community of faith is Head's Free Will
Baptist Church of Robertson County, and the members of this congregation honored its 175th
anniversary on September 13, 2015; and

       WHEREAS, the third-oldest church in Robertson County, the church was founded by
Wilson L. Gower, Wyley H. Head, M. Woodrough, and George Head in 1840; and

       WHEREAS, Head's Free Will Baptist Church is dedicated to spreading the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth; and

       WHEREAS, a powerful institution in service to the Kingdom of God, Head's Free Will
Baptist Church is one of the great religious institutions and catalysts for positive spiritual change
in our state and nation; and

       WHEREAS, Head's Free Will Baptist Church has stood on the rock-solid foundation of
Christian belief, service, and love for 175 years; now, therefore,

       BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE HUNDRED
NINTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY      OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, THE SENATE
CONCURRING, that we hereby join in celebrating the 175th anniversary of Head's Free Will
Baptist Church, thank the good people of this remarkable congregation and their pastors for
their notable service to their Lord and this state, and wish them much continued success and
happiness for years to come.

       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that an appropriate copy of this resolution be prepared
