           THE DEDICATION OF UNION CHURCH IN BERRIEN TOWNSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. FRED UPTON

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 7, 2004

  Mr. UPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the dedication of Union 
Church in Berrien Township, as a Michigan Historical Marker. This 
celebrated Church has stood and continues to stand as a symbol of 
faith, hope, and reverence. It is vitally important to preserve our 
nation's sense of history and ideals, and this marker will certainly 
maintain both for many years to come.
  On July 4, 2004, one hundred and forty-six years after its 
construction, Union Church's long and illustrious history was honored 
as a Michigan Historical Marker. I am very pleased that the communities 
of Southwest Michigan and Berrien Township in particular, were able to 
come together for this wonderful occasion and historic achievement.
  Because of the dedication of individuals within the Union Church 
Historical Preservation Society, Southwest Michigan and our country 
continue to be great places to live, work, and worship.
