  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Rev. Marjorie 
Kitchell, who has dedicated 40 years of service to the Christian Center 
Church.
  Rev. Kitchell, who moved to Boulder City in 1967 to begin her work 
with the Christian Center Church, opened the Christian Center Daycare 
and Preschool shortly after her arrival. The daycare, which is Nevada's 
longest running licensed daycare, and the preschool have proved to be 
valued and trusted centers of early education. Since 1972, Rev. 
Kitchell has served the congregation of the Christian Center Church as 
the senior pastor. In addition to her service to the people of the 
Christian Center Church, Rev. Kitchell was the past Boulder City Police 
Chaplain, has served on the Boulder City Juvenile Conference Committee, 
was the past president and a current member of the Boulder City 
Ministerial Association and currently serves as District Supervisor of 
her denomination's churches in the Henderson and Las Vegas area. In 
addition to her work throughout the community, Rev. Kitchell is the 
author of numerous articles and a book, My Mother's Keeper.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Rev. Marjorie Kitchell. Her work 
is commendable and I thank her for her dedication and commitment to the 
community and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
