  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Reverend Washington L. 
Lundy's 30th Pastoral Anniversary at the Evening Star Baptist Church in 
Brooklyn, New York.
  Reverend Lundy is a native of McKenney, Virginia. Prior to his 
appointment at the Evening Star Baptist Church, Reverend Lundy had 
experience in pastoring at First Baptist Church in McKenney, Virginia. 
Following his appointment to the Evening Star Baptist Church, Reverend 
Lundy obtained a Bachelor of Sacred Theology and a Doctor of Divinity 
from Baltimore College of Bible in 1971 and 1975, respectively.
  Since Reverend Lundy's tenure at Evening Star Baptist Church, many 
wonderful things have happened to both the church and the surrounding 
community. Reverend Lundy founded the Eastern Baptist Association 
School of Religion in 1989. The Reverend also led the congregation 
through a five million-dollar renovation and dedication in 1994.
  Reverend Lundy's accomplishments do not end there. In 1991, C.S.B.C. 
Housing Development named him Father of the Year. Reverend Lundy also 
received the Contemporary Leadership Award in July, 1992, and the 
History Maker Award in February, 1995. In addition to this, Franklin 
Avenue, in Brooklyn, New York will soon be named ``Dr. Washington Lee 
Lundy'' Boulevard.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in saluting Reverend Washington L. 
Lundy on the occasion of his 30th Pastoral Anniversary at the Evening 
Star Baptist Church.
