                    WELCOMING REVEREND GLEN BERTEAU

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from California (Mr. 
Denham) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor today to introduce to 
the House our guest chaplain, Glen Berteau, of Modesto, from The House. 
Glen currently serves as senior pastor at The House in Modesto. A 
church of more than 8,000, his congregation was named as one of the 50 
top largest churches in America.
  The House's outreach has touched the lives of people all across the 
Central Valley. He is a leader who has pulled our faith-based community 
together and our pastors together to address so many of our issues in 
California's Central Valley.
  Glen is a youth pastor and author of a popular youth manual and two 
books: ``Christianity Life'' and ``Christianity to Go.'' He is a gifted 
speaker and evangelist and teacher, speaking not only in California's 
Central Valley but in conferences all over the world.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in welcoming Glen this 
afternoon. We thank him for offering this morning's opening prayer in 
the United States House of Representatives.
