                  TRIBUTE TO BISHOP CLAUDE L. CAMPBELL

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 12, 2002

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
recognize Bishop Claude L. Campbell and his 37th Anniversary at St. 
Paul's Calvary United Church of God in Union, New Jersey. Since 1965, 
Bishop Campbell has enhanced not only his church and congregation, but 
also the community of Union.
  Born on October 6, 1931 in Raeford, North Carolina, Bishop Campbell 
was raised in the Presbyterian Church where he was actively involved in 
the church choir and developed a love of music and singing. It was at 
an early age that Bishop Campbell knew that he was destined to a life 
of service.
  Bishop Campbell moved to New Jersey in 1954, where he became involved 
in congregations in the tri-state area, eventually beginning his 
pastorship at St. Paul's Calvary United Church of God in October 1965. 
Under his direction, the church has flourished, and has developed an 
especially strong tie to the younger members of the congregation.
  Mr. Speaker, I am sure that my colleagues here in the House of 
Representatives join me today as we recognize Bishop Claude L. Campbell 
and his many years of devoted service to St. Paul's Calvary Church of 
God.
