  Mr. SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, Dr. John W. Pace faithfully serves 
as Pastor of Red Oak United Methodist Church in Stockbridge, Georgia. 
Pastor Pace, affectionately known as ``Big Daddy'', is a native of the 
state Georgia. He is married to the lovely First Lady, Reba Pace. They 
have eight children, eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. 
Pastor Pace has one brother who is also a minister/pastor.
  Dr. Pace and First Lady Pace came to Red Oak U.M.C. in 1989 from 
Golden United Methodist Church in Douglasville, GA. Upon their arrival, 
they were truly united in God's mission and as a result of much hard 
work, many prayers and many sacrifices made under his fine leadership, 
the ``New'' Red Oak was built along with the Christian Life Center.
  Certainly, Red Oak U.M.C. has served all congregation members and 
many others

under the leadership of its pastor Dr. Pace and his lovely wife. They 
continue to work diligently as they serve others. I commend them at 
this celebration of their over 14 years of service to Red Oak United 
Methodist Church, and I encourage congregation members and friends to 
join in their appreciation celebration as Dr. and Mrs. Pace continue in 
their mission.
