Memorials, Retirement - Gary Jared -

This House Joint Resolution (HJR 788) is a ceremonial tribute honoring Gary Jared, the retiring senior pastor of Stuart Heights Baptist Church, following 35 years of service. It recognizes his leadership in growing the church from 24 to 1,000 members and hosting community programs, without creating any new laws or affecting policy. The resolution formally commends his "meritorious service" and extends "best wishes for every future success," as approved by Tennessee's General Assembly. It does not impose obligations or alter rights, as is typical for commemorative resolutions.
