  Mr. BYRNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Dr. Mack Morris on 
his 50 years of ministry. Dr. Mack Morris currently serves as the 
Senior Pastor of Woodridge Baptist Church in Mobile, Alabama.
  Dr. Morris, a native of Dothan, Alabama, has faithfully served the 
Lord, our local community, the people of Alabama, and beyond for over 
half a century. Dr. Morris felt the call of the Lord and surrendered to 
the ministry at Maple Avenue Baptist Church in Geneva, Alabama in 1967. 
He was licensed to preach at the White House Baptist Church in Bay 
Minette, Alabama in 1968.
  Within his period of dedicated service, Dr. Morris was called and 
served faithfully at all the following churches in Alabama: White House 
Baptist, Bethel Baptist, Tillman's Corner Baptist, Heritage Baptist, 
Old Spanish Fort Baptist, Jubilee Baptist, and Woodridge Baptist. Dr. 
Morris has been a supportive, faithful, and loyal advocate for his 
community throughout his ministry.
  Dr. Morris has served on the Alabama State Board of Missions and 
Executive Board of the Alabama Baptist State Convention, as Moderator 
of the Mobile Baptist Association, as the first president of the Board 
of Regents at the University of Mobile, and as a trustee at the 
University of Mobile for eleven years.
  During his 50 years of ministry, Dr. Morris has spread the Word of 
the Lord and His Saving Grace by officiating over 165 weddings, 
conducting over 547 funerals, and has seen the salvation and baptism of 
over 2,500 men, women, and children.
  On behalf of Alabama's First Congressional District and the countless 
people his ministry has impacted, I want to recognize and share my deep 
gratitude with Dr. Mack Morris for his tireless service to our 
community.
