                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 9, 2010

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to the congregation of 
Marble City Baptist Church, which celebrated their 100th anniversary 
this year.
  Marble City Baptist Church, formerly the Gantt's Quarry Baptist 
Church, like so many other congregations across East Alabama, has been 
a staple in the community since it came into existence. In 1968, the 
church received the new name we know today. Pastor Dr. Michael Trull 
plays a substantial role in helping the church lead its ministry.
  On February 13, Marble City Baptist Church held a reunion from the 
day into that night. This gathering brought close to 300 people back to 
the church. The following Sunday, a congregation close to 400 people 
came together for the 100-year anniversary service.
  All of us across Talladega County and East Alabama are deeply proud 
of this congregation at this important milestone. We congratulate them 
on their 100th anniversary and wish them all the best in their next 100 
years of ministry in the Sylacauga community.
