OLD FASHION GOSPEL HOUR

BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESOLUTION
REGARDING THE SERVICE AND DEDICATION OF

ELDER BOBBY PITT AND SISTER ROBBIE PITT

WHEREAS, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ deserves all honor and glory, and the Old Fashion Gospel Hour was formed and exists to preach His Gospel and give Him honor and glory; and

WHEREAS, the Lord called Brother Pitt to preach His Gospel and in 1975, led him to start the Old Fashion Gospel Hour television program; and

WHEREAS, Sister Pitt has always supported Brother Pitt and the Lord’s call serving as treasurer of the program for over thirty two years; and

WHEREAS, Brother and Sister Pitt served the Lord as follows:

– They began the program in Crossville with Brother Pitt preaching and Sister Pitt singing. They often paid for the program themselves.

– When they could no longer see any way to continue, they gave up the work, but calls from viewers convinced the station owner to work out arrangements to continue the program.

– Russell Hill Missionary Baptist Church, their home church, many brothers and sisters and a host of Missionary Baptist churches have supported the program.

– They faithfully operated the Old Fashion Gospel hour in Crossville, the Rutland Church building in Mt. Juliet, Longview Missionary Baptist Church and a building on the square in Hartsville.

– They were led by the Spirit to finance and construct a building and to give the building and a lot to the Old Fashion Gospel Hour for a permanent home.

– By the leadership of the Spirit, they also formed an organization to continue the Lord’s work in the future and requested a group of Missionary Baptist brethren to serve as a Board of Directors.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Old Fashion Gospel Hour desire to recognize Brother and Sister Pitt’s faithful dedication and service to the Lord.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Old Fashion Gospel Hour Board of Directors, looking forward to their continued service, offers prayers of thanks and extends its deepest gratitude to Brother and Sister Pitt for their faithful dedication and service to the Old Fashion Gospel Hour for the honor and glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
