Elwood N. Stewart Interim Pastor Sis. Tamara L. Larry Chairman of Trustees Friday, May 24, 2019 Resolution of Respect For Brother Linnard Holston The morning call of the Heavenly Father on Saturday, May 18, 2019 to another human soul has come to carry him away to the mansion prepared for him from the foundation of the world by an all-loving God, we pen these resolutions in the memory of our Brother Holston to express our grief and loss in the passing of our faithful member and friend. | Whereas, the New Zion Baptist Church has lost a loyal member, the world has lost a great Christian character in the passing of Brother Holston. We rejoice that, during our sorrow, we are assured that his passing has brought him eternal joy and fellowship with God, for he has received the crown of righteousness laid up for all the faithful. Brother Holston truly loved the Lord and the church and was a devoted member of this congregation for over 60 years and by serving as a member of the New Zion Baptist Church Usher Board Ministry. He has left behind him a beautiful memory which well might be emulated by the young. Therefore, we thank the Lord for the opportunity of having known this spiritual personality, who was so interested in God’s work, that he attended many, many church services and enjoyed the full privilege of its membership. He prayed faithfully for his church and the Pastor and supported them faithfully until his failing health caused him to remain away from New Zion for some time before his passing. He made an indelible impression upon our church that we never ceased to consider him a full member, and his interest in the church never waned. Be it resolved, that though his presence will be greatly missed by his loved ones and those to who he had endeared himself, that they accept the Christian submission to God’s will by calling Brother Holston home. We extend our heartfelt sympathy and commend them to the Divine Comforter who can sustain, encourage and strengthen all who call upon Him and look forward with joy to meeting him again with Jesus Christ. Be it further resolved, that a copy of this resolution is provided to the family and a copy placed in the records of the New Zion Baptist Church. In the matchless Name of Jesus Christ, Sister Tricia A. Frye-Braodnax - Church Secretary /Clerk Rev. Elwood N. Stewart, Interim Pastor “Love ye one another.” John 13:34
