  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Floyd 
Springs United Methodist Church of Floyd County, Georgia which

is celebrating its Sesquicentennial anniversary this fall. For 150 
years, since its founding in 1848, the church has been a focal point 
for the worship of God, religious education, and community service to 
the Floyd Springs area and beyond. The church is a part of the Rome-
Carrollton District, North Georgia conference of the United Methodist 
Church, and is located at 1954 Floyd Springs Road, Armuchee, Georgia.
  Institutions of faith have always provided a vital service to 
America; by encouraging moral behavior, assisting citizens in need, and 
guiding the spiritual development of millions. For 150 years, Floyd 
Springs United Methodist Church has been in the forefront of that 
cause. Now, in 1998, we need the spiritual Christian leadership and 
service this great church offers.
  The congregation has planned special activities during October to 
commemorate this historic event, and I am proud to lend my voice to 
this effort.
