  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Galt Christian 
Church in Galt, Missouri. This church will be celebrating its 125th 
year anniversary of service to the community on October 15, 2006. Over 
these past 125 years, this church grew to meet all the needs of its 
congregation.
  As a staple of the community throughout the years, the church has 
gone through growth and expansion with the Galt community it serves. 
From humble beginnings, this church is a stabilizing force for this 
community. Originally, this church was borrowing space from a 
neighboring church.
  The church buildings grew in concert with its congregation. Growing, 
even taking in two hundred new members in one afternoon, with a large 
baptism of faith. Finally in 1974, the church's current building was 
erected to house the growing congregation.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing the Galt 
Christian Church. The services which they have provided over these 125 
years have been fundamental to the growth of this community. Let us use 
the Galt Christian Church as a powerful example of the lasting 
commitment to faith.
