HR1057: HR1057 Stallion, Reverend Dr. David L., Sr. and First Lady Tammy Stallion of Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church; ten years of service; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes anything in the Georgia code. It recognizes Reverend Dr. David L. Stallion Sr. on the 10th anniversary of his call to serve as pastor of Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia, and commends First Lady Tammy Stallion for her work teaching Sunday school and supporting church administration and new member orientation. The resolution states that the House recognizes Reverend Stallion on his pastoral anniversary, commends First Lady Stallion, and extends best wishes for continued leadership. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the Stallions.
