                          HON. DANIEL WEBSTER

                     Wednesday, September 11, 2013

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge a 
special occasion for Delaney Street Baptist Church in Orlando, Florida. 
Delaney Street Baptist Church will celebrate their 85th anniversary 
this upcoming Sunday, September 15, 2013.
   The First Baptist Church of Orlando began a Mission in 1923, which 
later would develop into Delaney Street Baptist Church. Under the 
leadership of Reverend T.E. Waldrup, thirty-six Charter members laid 
the foundations for what would become Delaney Street Baptist Church. On 
September 14, 1928, Delaney Street Baptist church was officially 
founded.
   This is a special moment in the history of Delaney Street Baptist 
Church, and they deserve to be commended for their 85 years of service 
to their community. I would like to thank them for their many years of 
faithful ministry to our community and their dedication to Christian 
leadership.
   On behalf of the people of Central Florida, it is my pleasure to 
recognize and congratulate Delaney Street Baptist Church on this 
momentous occasion. May God continue to bless their church and ministry 
throughout future generations.
