  Mr. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to extend my congratulations to my pastor Reverend Dr. 
George Edward McRae and my fellow congregants as together we celebrate 
the 104th Anniversary of Mt. Tabor Missionary Baptist Church this 
Sunday, February 13, 2005.
  Located in the heart of Miami's Liberty City at 1701 N.W. 66th 
Street, this citadel of faith

has been and continues to be a beacon of comfort and hope in our 
community.
  Under the leadership of our beloved pastor, Rev. Dr. McRae, Mt. Tabor 
has taken an active and progressive role in directly addressing the 
temporal, as well as spiritual needs of our neighbors. I want to 
commend him for his tireless apostolate in ministering to those 
afflicted with the HIV/AIDS virus, to those who are imprisoned, to the 
hungry, and to all those seeking the love and solace of a Church that 
seeks to affirm and confirm their dignity as God's children.
  As we come together in thanks and reflection on our Church's 104 
years of ministry, this historic anniversary takes on a meaning much 
greater than the passage of time, for Mt. Tabor Missionary Baptist 
Church has met the spiritual needs of thousands of people who came 
before us, and through the grace of God will continue to do so for 
another century to come. It is a magnificent legacy we will celebrate.
  And so I proudly join my fellow church members in celebrating 104 
years of faith and good works, of caring of one another, and reaching 
through good works to those least able to fend for themselves.
