        RECOGNIZING ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF WATERLOO, NY

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 21, 2017

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize St. Paul's Episcopal 
Church on its bicentennial, and to congratulate its clergy, staff, and 
members, as they celebrate this remarkable milestone.
  St. Paul's was incorporated on November 17, 1817, in Waterloo, New 
York, and has ministered to the spiritual and physical needs of its 
surrounding community without ceasing in the two-hundred years since.
  From its inception, St. Paul's has practiced the traditional 
Christian values of inclusion, hospitality, caring for the poor and 
others who are struggling. St. Paul's also strives to provide a 
welcoming environment for all individuals, regardless of where they are 
in their respective faith journeys.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing St. Paul's Episcopal 
Church as it celebrates two centuries of spiritual ministry and service 
to the community of Waterloo, New York.
