  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following:
  Whereas, New Life Church has been and continues to be a beacon of 
light to our county for well over fifteen (15) years; and
  Whereas, Pastor Marlin D. Harris and the members of the New Life 
Church family today continue to uplift and inspire those in our county 
and beyond; and
  Whereas, New Life Church has been and continues to be a place where 
citizens are touched spiritually, mentally and physically through 
outreach ministries and community partnership to aid in building up the 
community; and
  Whereas, this remarkable and tenacious Church of God has given hope 
to the hopeless, fed the needy and empowered our community by preaching 
the gospel, singing the gospel and living the gospel; and
  Whereas, New Life Church has produced many spiritual warriors, people 
of compassion, people of great courage, fearless leaders and servants 
to all, but most of all visionaries who have shared not only with their 
Church, but with DeKalb County and the world their passion to spread 
the gospel of Jesus Christ; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the New Life Church 
family as they dedicate their new Church Sanctuary and for continued 
leadership and service to our District;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim 
March 13, 2011 as New Life Church Day in the 4th Congressional 
District.
  Proclaimed, this 13th day of March, 2011.
