                     WELCOMING REVEREND JEFF PARISH

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Florida is 
recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce to my colleagues 
and to this House our guest chaplain for the day, Pastor Jeff Parish.
  Pastor Jeff serves as the senior pastor of First Baptist Church of 
Indian Rocks, Florida. Pastor Jeff first entered the ministry in 1986, 
sharing with others the message of Christian salvation and of the 
redeeming love and grace of the God in whom we put our trust, and 
counseling fellow believers along their personal faith journey.
  Pastor Jeff is joined in his ministry by his wife, Martha, and by the 
congregation and community of believers at First Baptist Indian Rocks, 
a church family that, for 50 years, has shared its message of faith 
with the Pinellas County community but also in remote lands around the 
globe.
  I welcome Pastor Jeff today, and I thank him personally for the 
ministry he leads every day that has had an impact on the life of this 
Member but, likewise, on many thousands of others he has touched during 
his career of service to our loving God.
