                         Tuesday, March 5, 2002

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Reverend Bobby 
Ray Morris of Lawson, Missouri. Reverend Morris has been the pastor of 
the Lawson Assembly of God Church for the past 42 years, providing 
spiritual leadership to generations of Missourians.
  In addition to caring for his congregation, Reverend Morris is a 
positive influence on the community of Lawson. During his distinguished 
tenure, 25 individuals became pastors, youth leaders, and missionaries. 
The dedication and guidance of Reverend Morris enabled these 
individuals to answer their calls to the ministry.
  This well-loved and respected man of God is retiring on March 16. 
Although the Reverend will relinquish his role as leader of the Lawson 
Assembly of God Church, he will remain a spiritual leader in the 
community and continue to guide and inspire future generations. Please 
join me in honoring Reverend Bobby Ray Morris for his life of service 
to the community of Lawson.
