                      Wednesday, September 8, 2004

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Magnolia Park 
United Methodist Church for 75 years of ministry in the City of 
Burbank.
  Magnolia Park United Methodist Church is located in the middle of 
Burbank's film and television studios as well as its famed Media 
District. Since 1929, it has been serving the community on the corner 
of Magnolia and Catalina. It is a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive 
congregation. The church actively sponsors youth groups such as the Boy 
and Girl Scouts, Brownies, and Cub Scouts. It strongly supports the 
Burbank Temporary Aid Center with financial services and food items. 
The church is also a proud member of the Burbank Chamber of Commerce, 
and gives several essential community agencies like Kedren Headstart, 
and Kids of Rock Theater a home.
  Magnolia Park United Methodist Church encourages meaningful service 
in the local community as well as the international community through 
world missions. The church is not only locally supportive of the Walter 
Hoving Home, it also partners in missionary work in Nigeria. The church 
reinforces the importance of unity, charity, dedication, and family.
  I ask all Members of Congress to join me today in celebrating 
Magnolia Park United Methodist Church's 75 years of exemplary service 
and ministry, and for its immense commitment to its parishioners in and 
beyond the City of Burbank.
