          CHRIST CHURCH, U.C.C., 100th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

                                 ______


                         HON. GERALD D. KLECZKA

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 20, 1995
  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer congratulations and 
best wishes to the people of Christ Church, a congregation of the 
United Church of Christ, on the celebration of their 100th anniversary 
of ministry on Milwaukee's south side.
  Formally organized in September of 1895 with nine charter members, 
Christ Church has risen to every challenge of the past 100 years--and 
today continues to be a vibrant, committed congregation of 629 members. 
I suspect that when they look back over that century of ministry, they 
may be quite surprised at the remarkable things they have accomplished 
as a people of faith. But, in fact, they are living proof of the old 
saying, ``What faith makes possible, love makes easy.''
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
members of Christ Church for their 100 years of dedicated service to 
God and Country. May God continue to bless their labor.
