                      Tuesday, September 14, 2010

  Mr. SHULER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th 
anniversary of Fairview Baptist Church in the community of Waynesville, 
North Carolina. Since 1910, this church has brought light and joy to 
the lives of many devoted members.
  From its humble beginnings consisting of a congregation of eight 
people and a house purchased for six dollars, Fairview Baptist has 
grown to be a proud and prominent part of the Waynesville community. 
Over the past hundred years, the Church has witnessed many significant 
moments in history from World War I to the Civil Rights Movement.
  The strength and longevity of Fairview Baptist Church has proven to 
be an inspiration for many and I look forward to seeing what the future 
holds for the Church as it continues its journey through the next 100 
years. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me today in 
congratulating Fairview Baptist Church on its outstanding 
accomplishments over its 100-year history.

                          ____________________
