                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
   Designating the week beginning October 23, 1994, as ``Center City 
                             Church Week''.

Whereas businesses and people are abandoning urban areas;
 Whereas center city churches continue to remain a part of urban areas and 
        confront the challenges that exist there;
 Whereas center city churches serve as refuges for the colorful array of people 
        clustered in urban areas;
Whereas center city churches are in the forefront of feeding the hungry, 
        clothing the destitute, and providing new economic opportunities;
Whereas center city churches are in the forefront of reaching out to at-risk 
        youth with recreation programs, literacy classes, and job training; and
Whereas center city churches are the urban Good Samaritans offering life and 
        hope through the gospel of Jesus Christ: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week beginning 
October 23, 1994, is designated as ``Center City Church Week'', and the 
President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling 
on the people of the United States to observe the week with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.
