  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the centennial 
anniversary of Macedonia Baptist Church, located in Toledo, Ohio. The 
congregation will celebrate this milestone event on August 25, 2012.
  Since its founding in 1912, Macedonia Baptist Church has served its 
congregation and its community inspired by Christ's teachings as 
recorded in Matthew 25:40 that, ``Whatsoever you do to the least among 
you, that you do unto me.'' Its ``rich history of service began on 
Yondota Street on the East side of Toledo'' where the church originally 
stood and continues to the present day from its location in West 
Toledo.
  Through a century of service the church has been a neighborhood 
mainstay. In addition to worship services, Macedonia Baptist Church 
members teach fellowship and provide services to families in need. 
Motivated by their servants' hearts and strong pastoral leadership, the 
church carries forth a tradition of reaching out. All are welcome into 
the faith-filled, inspired congregation. We proudly commemorate this 
100th anniversary while looking forward to Macedonia Baptist Church's 
future.
