  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation.
  Whereas, since 1951, Hillcrest Church of Christ has been and 
continues to be a beacon of light in our district; and
  Whereas, Bro. Richard L. Barclay, Senior Minister and the members of 
the Hillcrest Church of Christ family, today continue to uplift and 
inspire those in our district and beyond; and
  Whereas, Hillcrest Church of Christ has been and continues to be a 
place where citizens are touched spiritually, mentally and physically 
through outreach ministries and community partnership to aid in 
building up the community; and
  Whereas, this remarkable and tenacious Church of Christ has given 
hope to the hopeless, fed the needy and empowered our community by 
preaching the gospel, witnessing for the gospel and teaching the 
gospel; and
  Whereas, Hillcrest Church of Christ has produced many spiritual 
elders, people of compassion, people of great courage, fearless leaders 
and servants to all, but most of all visionaries who have shared not 
only with their Church, but with our district and the world as they 
spread the gospel of Jesus Christ; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the Hillcrest Church of 
Christ family as they dedicate their new Church Sanctuary and for 
continued leadership and service to our District and the world; now 
therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim August 
25, 2013 as Hillcrest Church of Christ Day in the 4th Congressional 
District.
  Proclaimed, this 25th day of August, 2013.
