                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 8, 2003

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a magnificent 
individual and dedicated member of both her community and church, Mrs. 
Christine Reed, affectionately known as `Grahams'. Born in Summit, New 
Jersey, Mrs. Reed has been an active member of the Saint Paul's Calvary 
United Church of God for over 35 years.
  On July 13, 2003, the members of the Saint Paul's Calvary United 
Church of God's Usher board will proudly recognize Sister Christine 
Reed with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
  Throughout her many years of membership, Mrs. Reed partook as a 
member of various choirs, the Missionary Department, Sunday School 
Teacher and the Usher Board. Mrs. Reed served as the President of the 
Usher Board for over 25 years. Also serving as the Vice President for a 
time, Mrs. Reed was a dedicated member, a hard and reliable worker, 
always willing to teach and lend a helping hand in any possible 
capacity.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleagues here in the U.S. House of 
Representatives join me today in saluting Mrs. Christine Reed for her 
many years of dedicated service to Saint Paul's Calvary United Church 
of God.
