                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 25, 2010

  Mr. ROSKAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Reverend 
Kevin Williams, who has been installed as a new Pastor in the Second 
Baptist Church of Wheaton, which is located in my Congressional 
district.
  The Second Baptist Church is the oldest African American Church in 
DuPage County. Ever since it opened its doors to worshippers in 1907, 
this church has worked diligently to glorify God, build up the saved, 
and win the lost. Through private and collective study groups, as well 
as public preaching, the Second Baptist Church has strengthened our 
community by bringing people together through faith.
  Reverend Williams is a loving husband and father. He believes that 
his greatest privilege and joy has been to share the grace of God with 
others. From the early age of 27, he has used his talents and gifts to 
spread the glory of God and help congregants of the Second Baptist 
Church experience the love of Jesus.
  Madam Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing the installation of the Reverend Kevin Williams as Pastor 
of the Second Baptist Church of Wheaton. I believe that Reverend 
Williams will bring people together in faith and fellowship and help 
make our local communities a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a 
family.
