                       SPRINGFIELD BAPTIST CHURCH

 Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, today I honor in the Record 
Springfield Baptist Church in Greensboro, GA.
  On August 15, 2010, the Georgia Historical Society will place a 
permanent marker recognizing this historic church as the oldest 
African-American church in Greene County. Established in 1864, 
Springfield Baptist Church has been a place of faith, hope, and dreams 
for its members for almost 150 years.
  This isn't the first time that Springfield Baptist Church has been 
honored for its important place in Greene County's history. On 
September 8, 1987, the church was listed on the National Register of 
Historic Places.
  It gives me a great deal of pleasure and it is a privilege to 
recognize the Springfield Baptist Church and its contributions to 
Greene County. I congratulate Pastor James C. Tazel, Jr. and the entire 
congregation on this historic occasion.
