Honoring the International Pentecostal City Mission Food Program upon the occasion of its 25th Anniversary Gala on February 7, 2026

Summary

This resolution is a ceremonial measure honoring the International Pentecostal City Mission Food Program on the occasion of its 25th Anniversary Gala on February 7, 2026. It recognizes the organization’s history in Brooklyn, its faith-based ministry, and its role in providing spiritual support, outreach, and charitable service to the community. The resolution also highlights the leadership of Bishop Petrona Reid and credits her with guiding the mission’s growth and impact over the past 25 years. The resolution does not create new programs, impose requirements, or change any substantive law. Instead, it serves as an official expression of appreciation by the Legislature, with a copy to be transmitted to Bishop Reid and the congregation. Its practical effect is limited to public recognition and commendation of the organization’s service and anniversary milestone.

Impact

This resolution has no direct impact on state statutes, regulations, or government operations. It is a nonbinding honorary measure that formally acknowledges a faith-based community organization and its leadership, but it does not alter legal rights, duties, funding, or agency responsibilities. The only tangible effect is symbolic recognition by the Legislature.

Sentiment

The overall sentiment is strongly positive and celebratory. The resolution praises the International Pentecostal City Mission Food Program for its spiritual leadership, charitable outreach, and community service, and it frames the anniversary as an occasion for gratitude and encouragement. There is no recorded opposition, committee debate, or vote history indicating controversy.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because this is an honorary resolution, it appears to have been introduced for recognition rather than policy change, and the bill text and context show no competing viewpoints, amendments, or objections. The only named figure is Bishop Petrona Reid, whose leadership is expressly commended.
