                         Thursday, May 17, 2012

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a 
distinguished community leader in Cartersville, Georgia, Dr. Joe 
Edwards is celebrating his 25th anniversary as pastor of the Church 
Liberty Square.
  Under his direction, Liberty Square has grown into a ``life-based'' 
church complex, boasting a K 12 school, family home communities, and a 
food distribution center that serves the needy. Pastor Edwards is a man 
who lives his faith; he and members of the Church at Liberty Square 
have positively transformed their community.
  Pastor Edwards' devotion to Christ's ministry is an example to us 
all. I wish him continued blessings in his work. There is no doubt that 
Cartersville is a better place because of Pastor Edwards.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Pastor 
Edwards and the Church at Liberty Square.
