                      Wednesday, November 2, 2011

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Shiloh 
Community Fellowship United Holy Church of America (UHCA) as members of 
the congregation gather to celebrate its 75th Anniversary. Since its 
humble beginnings in 1920, the organization has grown structurally and 
in membership, while continuing to provide outstanding spiritual 
leadership to members of the community. This organization's service and 
dedication is highly deserving of this body's recognition.
  Shiloh Community Fellowship began hosting church services at the home 
of the late Reverend Henry Jeffers in 1920. The steady increase in 
membership later encouraged and supported the decision to relocate the 
organization to Dewitt Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey. In 1938, the 
late Bishop H.L. Fisher brought the church into fellowship with United 
Holy Church of America (UHCA), a title which the organization retains 
today. Throughout its tenure, Shiloh Community Fellowship UHCA was 
governed by various administrations. In 1976, Reverend Sarah Wright 
assumed leadership on behalf of her ill husband, Rev. Thomas Wright, 
and became the first female to serve at Shiloh Community Fellowship. In 
1987, the Board of Trustees unanimously agreed to build a new church at 
142 Dewitt Avenue in Asbury Park to better serve constituents and 
members of the congregation. The dedication service of the new building 
was held on May 22, 2004 under the direction of Elder Felton Miller. In 
October 2008, Reverend Mark E. White, Sr. was appointed to minister 
various services at Shiloh Community Fellowship and was later installed 
as the new

Pastor on February 13, 2010. To this day, he continues to provide 
insightful leadership and spiritual guidance to the members of the 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in celebrating the Shiloh 
Community Fellowship United Holy Church of America's 75th Anniversary. 
The organization continues to provide outstanding spiritual guidance 
and solace for members of the Asbury Park community.
