                        Tuesday, March 20, 2018

  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my heartfelt 
congratulations to Baker's Creek Baptist Church in Eureka, Indiana for 
200 years of service and fellowship in Southwest Indiana.
  Dating back to 1818, the Baker's Creek Baptist Church is the second 
oldest church in Spencer County. It has served not just as a place of 
worship, but also as a refuge for those in times of trouble and means 
of encouragement for men and women of faith, including influential 
Americans such as President Abraham Lincoln.
  Through the Lord's grace and the devotion of leaders like Pastor 
James Carl Jones, Baker's Creek Baptist Church has remained a place for 
the congregation to worship and come together as a community.
  I am grateful for Baker's Creek Baptist Church's rich history of 
service over the past 200 years and excited for what the future holds. 
Again, congratulations on achieving this tremendous milestone.
