  Mr. GOWDY. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following Proclamation in honor 
of Aiken Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, for their 100th Anniversary:
  Whereas, Aiken Chapel Missionary Baptist Church was formed in 1915 by 
a group of fourteen men and women who purchased land from Mrs. Ida 
Aiken to build a church; and
  Whereas, the church was named for Mrs. Aiken and became Aiken Chapel 
Church, pastored by the late Reverend R. L. Goodwin, a founding member; 
and
  Whereas, Aiken Chapel Missionary Baptist Church continues to be a 
leading church in Taylors, South Carolina, and under the leadership of 
Dr. W. O. Harrison Sr., pastor for more than thirty years, the 
congregation continues to be active and enthusiastic members of our 
community; and
  Whereas, Aiken Chapel Missionary Baptist Church is celebrating its 
100th Anniversary this year and this anniversary celebration will draw 
members from the Upstate community to participate in this momentous 
milestone in the history of their church; Now therefore, be it
  Resolved that I, Trey Gowdy, do congratulate the members of Aiken 
Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in recognition of their 100th 
Anniversary and thank them for their unwavering commitment, dedication, 
and contributions to Greenville County and to the Fourth Congressional 
District of South Carolina.
