                         Tuesday, July 10, 2018

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of 
Rev. Chuck Nation's 40th year in ministry and his 20th anniversary as 
the church pastor at the First Baptist Church of Flowery Branch.
  Rev. Chuck Nation grew up near Chickamauga, Georgia and later moved 
to Louisville, Kentucky, where he became a Christian and took an active 
role in church. This eventually led him to return to his Georgia home 
and join First Baptist Church of Flowery Branch as their pastor.
  Rev. Nation has cared for the flock of nearly 700 at First Baptist 
Flowery Branch since 1998, making this year his 20th anniversary there. 
In honor of his commitment to this local body, the congregation 
presented him with an award and personalized gifts, including a memory 
jar filled with notes from church members.
  I join the men and women of the First Baptist Church of Flowery 
Branch in recognizing this anniversary and look forward to hearing 
about how their church continues to thrive and celebrate faithful 
service.
