                   TRIBUTE TO TRINITY ASSEMBLY CHURCH

                                 ______


                            HON. BART GORDON

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 20, 1996

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Trinity Assembly Church in Algood, TN, on recent 
completion of their new Sanctuary Complex. In the life of a church and 
a community, this is a monumental event. It is a testament to the years 
of hard work and dedication of this congregation.
  The completion of the new sanctuary complex is not only of great 
benefit to the congregation at Trinity Assembly, but to the entire 
community of Algood. This new facility greatly enhances the ability of 
Trinity to conduct community outreach. This complex will allow Trinity 
to provide greater counseling and help to those in need.
  Trinity Assembly was established in 1966 by Rev. W.F. Carlile. In 
1983 there were 40 parishoners. Now, only 13 years later, there are 
over 1,200 parishoners at Trinity Assembly. The current pastor of 
Trinity, Eddie Turner, has displayed an expertise in leadership that is 
to be commended. His hard work and devotion has been instrumental in 
the growth and prosperity of this church. It is a credit to the entire 
community that this church has experienced such phenomenal success.
  I offer my best wishes for many more years of growth to the 
congregation of Trinity Assembly.
