  Mr. LINCOLN DAVIS of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, let us give praise to 
the longevity of Zion Presbyterian Church in Columbia, Tennessee as 
they celebrate the 200th anniversary of their founding. Many churches 
are often the social center for the communities they serve. Zion has 
long been ministering to the spiritual needs of Maury Countians and 
striving to provide a better life to those living abroad during their 
many mission trips.
  Founded in 1807 by descendants of Scottish and Scott-Irish 
Presbyterians, the first house of worship was erected in the center of 
the 5,120 acres of land they purchased from the heirs of General 
Nathaniel Greene. With a strong commitment to God and their faith in 
the human spirit, may Zion Presbyterian Church continue their outreach 
and ministry.
