HR 674: Robinson, Reverend Dr. William Holmes; occasion of his 13th pastoral anniversary; recognize

The resolution recounts his work leading the church, including a building campaign that led to a new Worship and Services Center in 2018, and his service as chaplain for the Fulton and DeKalb County sheriff's offices and a fraternity. The House resolves to commend him and directs the Clerk of the House to give him an official copy of the resolution as a keepsake.
