                               RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing support for the recognition of September 7, 2024, as 
 ``Liturgical Dance Day'' and the International Dance Commission, and 
                          for other purposes.

Whereas, on September 7, 2024, the International Dance Commission will celebrate 
        ``Liturgical Dance Day'' as dancers from around the world will take part 
        in a day of fasting, prayer, and worship;
Whereas, every Sunday morning, liturgical dance is expressed in thousands of 
        ministries across the Nation, and liturgical dance ministers provide 
        valuable outreach programs serving inner-city youth and instilling them 
        with discipline, the desire to pursue excellence, and a love of dance;
Whereas the International Dance Commission's purpose is to serve as a 
        multicultural umbrella organization and resource pool for dance, worship 
        arts ministries, and dance companies throughout the world; and
Whereas the members of the International Dance Commission dedicate themselves to 
        service in their communities, sharing their gifts through the creative 
        arts: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes ``Liturgical 
Dance Day'' and the International Dance Commission and its 
contributions to the creative arts and worship in communities across 
the State of Georgia.
