                         Friday, July 31, 2009

  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Pastor Brenda 
Timberlake's deep commitment to improving the lives of others and the 
community. On September 18, 2009, friends, family and well wishers will 
gather in Cary, North Carolina to celebrate Pastor Timberlake's 60th 
birthday and her 30 years of ministry.
  Over the years, Pastor Timberlake and her late husband, Bishop Mack 
Timberlake, engaged in a great number of important efforts and projects 
that continue to help and serve the community.
  Among the many successful endeavors undertaken by Pastor Timberlake 
include: establishing the Christian Faith Center Academy to provide 
Christian-based education to students from kindergarten through 12th 
grade; constructing the Royal Pavilions of Creedmor, a 28-unit housing 
complex for the elderly and disadvantaged; collaborating with the North 
Carolina Department of Public Health to reduce infant death rates and 
provide assistance to single mothers through the Family First of 
Granville County program; and establishing the Raven's Nest Food Bank.
  Madam Speaker, these are but a few of Pastor Timberlake's many 
efforts. I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing her 
accomplishments as her friends and family celebrate her birthday, 
ministry and achievements.
  Pastor Timberlake continues to serve as exceptional community leader. 
Please join me in expressing gratitude for her service to the community 
and in wishing her continued success as she celebrates her birthday.
