  Mr. UPTON. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
in honor of the Galilee Baptist Church of Kalamazoo, Michigan, on the 
occasion of its 50th anniversary.
  Established in 1958, Galilee Baptist Church has become a center of 
faith, hope, and community for several generations of Kalamazoo 
residents. Over the past five decades, the church and its congregation 
have undergone many periods of expansion, but have never lost their 
enthusiasm for the Lord and His powerful word.
  I am proud and fortunate to represent the citizens of southwest 
Michigan because we believe in continually striving to improve our way 
of life. Because of the good works of the people of Galilee Baptist 
Church, Michigan is truly a better place to live, work, and worship.
  Again, it is my honor to stand today in recognition of the Galilee 
Baptist Church for its 50 years of service and spiritual outreach to 
the residents of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
