  Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Calvary Baptist Church 
of San Diego on its 125th anniversary and to recognize its long service 
to the African American community. Calvary Baptist Church of San Diego 
was one of the first African American Baptist churches in San Diego to 
address the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of the African 
American community.
  Throughout the years, Calvary Baptist Church has honored its history 
through faith, forgiveness, fellowship, friendship, and family and 
community union. As it did 125 years ago, Calvary Baptist Church 
continues to support the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of 
the African American communities throughout San Diego.
  Calvary Baptist Church of San Diego has prospered, reaching new 
heights physically, financially, and spiritually. I would like to 
commend Calvary Baptist Church of San Diego on their 125th anniversary 
and thank them for their enormous contributions to our community.

                          ____________________
