                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 21, 1996

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to an 
outstanding church in my congressional district celebrating 95 years of 
service to its community this year.
  Founded just after the turn of the century, Saints Peter and Paul 
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Riverside, IL, has served the spiritual 
needs of its congregation and the community at large since then.
  As we know, churches are the backbone of any community and Saints 
Peter and Paul has been one of the more important supporting structures 
of Riverside for more than nine decades.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Saints Peter and Paul on its 95th 
anniversary and wish the church many more years of service to its 
congregation and community.
