R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The members of Mount Horem Missionary Baptist Church
in Houston are joining together on March 27, 2011, to honor
Dr. Thomas F. Freeman for six decades of dedicated service to that
congregation; and

offered comfort and encouragement to those in need, and wisdom and
spiritual guidance to all who have opened their hearts to his
inspiring message of faith and salvation; he has also played a
positive role in the community, helping to meet the needs of area
residents in myriad ways; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Freeman has led Mount Horem with conviction and
vision over the course of his service; under his direction, the

commitment of time, an ability to inspire congregants through words
and deeds, and an unwavering belief in the importance of faith, and

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby honor Dr. Thomas F. Freeman on the occasion of
his 60th pastoral anniversary with Mount Horem Missionary Baptist
Church and extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be
