             250TH ANNIVERSARY OF FRIEDENS LUTHERAN CHURCH

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to welcome to the House of 
Representatives today a minister from my district. Reverend Rhoades 
serves as the pastor of the Friedens Lutheran Church. Friedens Lutheran 
Church, Mr. Speaker, is beautifully situated among the gentle rolling 
hills of Piedmont, NC, between Gibsonville and McLeansville in the 
heart of the sixth Congressional District.
  Friedens, a patriotic congregation, focusing on worship of God, 
service to the community, and living the love of God in their own lives 
and with everyone they meet, is celebrating its 250th anniversary this 
year. In addition to Reverend Rhoades, we are privileged, Mr. Speaker, 
to have in the House gallery today several members of the Friedens 
Lutheran Church.
  Again, I say it is our privilege to welcome our guest chaplain, 
Reverend Rhoades today, and the members of the Friedens Lutheran 
Church, to the House of Representatives.
