  Mr. WATT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Reverend Howard 
Allen Chubbs for

[[Page E957]]

his 45 years of service as pastor of Providence Baptist Church in 
Greensboro, North Carolina.
  Dr. Chubbs, an excellent leader, has led the church from a small 
congregation without a building to a six million dollar edifice with a 
membership of approximately 1300. In addition to his important 
religious role as the leader of a dynamic congregation, he is 
recognized as a leader in race and interfaith missions. The members of 
Dr. Chubbs' congregation always share their expertise with those in 
need without having to be asked and Dr. Chubbs spends substantial time 
mentoring young ministers in the community. Under Dr. Chubbs' 
leadership, Providence Baptist Church has provided opportunities for 
young people to prepare themselves to become the best that they can be 
through SAT preparation, Girl Scouts, exercise and other programs. And 
he has provided adults continuous opportunities to reinforce all the 
positive attributes needed to be assets to the church, the community, 
the State of North Carolina and the nation.
  Dr. Chubbs is also recognized as an outstanding husband and father 
and was honored by the National Diabetes Association as a ``Father of 
the Year'' recently.
  Dr. Chubbs has also been an active force internationally. He has 
worked diligently with the National Conference of Community and 
Justice, NCCJ, and the Jewish Federation to promote peace and mutual 
respect among ethnic groups, cultures and religious groups and 
travelled to Israel in 1994, 1997, 2000, and 2010.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing Reverend Dr. 
Howard Allen Chubbs and the Providence Baptist Church congregation a 
great pastoral 45th anniversary and best wishes in the years to come.
