                      Wednesday, September 7, 2005

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize 
before this House Pastor Leonard P. Buelow in observance of his 50th 
year in active ministry. Pastor Buelow's service and commitment to his 
congregations over the last 50 years has been both admirable and 
inspirational. He continues to serve his parishioners with the same 
dedication and enthusiasm as he did when he was first ordained.
  Pastor Buelow began his career in the Christian ministry by attending 
and graduating from Concordia Seminary in Springfield, IL, in 1954. He 
was ordained on September 11, 1955, and went on to serve the 
congregation of St. James Lutheran Church of Shawano, WI, until 1965. 
Then, from 1965 to 1992, Pastor Buelow led the congregation of the 
Redeemer Lutheran Church of Green Bay, WI. Following his service at 
Redeemer Lutheran, he went on to found Christ the King Evangelical 
Lutheran Church in Green Bay, WI, where he continues to serve as their 
full-time minister. During his tenure with these congregations, Pastor 
Buelow has earned the reputation of being a true leader of the church 
and a tireless servant of God.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize Pastor Leonard P. Buelow 
for his years of dedicated service to the church and his congregation. 
His guidance and compassion will continue to be cherished for many 
years to come.
