We are certain that in the years to come, the church will maintain the tradition of spiritual enlightenment that has long been its hallmark; and

WHEREAS, The members of Unitarian Universalist Church of Youngstown have long been actively involved in, and concerned about, the events in their community, and this celebration offers them a unique opportunity to share their memories and to reflect on the benefits of life in their close-knit community. The congregation can, indeed, be proud of their church, for they have built on the best traditions of the past to ensure a peaceful and robust future; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend Unitarian Universalist Church of Youngstown on the One Hundredth Anniversary of its building and extend best wishes for continued growth and prosperity; and be it further
