  Mr. BRAT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to join the Midlothian community in 
celebration of the 100th anniversary of Bethlehem Baptist Church. 
Founded in 1918, Bethlehem Baptist Church remains a pillar in the area 
and a beacon of light throughout the community in Midlothian, Virginia. 
Since its inception, Bethlehem Baptist Church has encouraged and 
empowered individuals with their message of hope, while encouraging the 
pursuit of opportunity through spiritual growth, education, economic 
empowerment and development.
  On behalf of the Seventh Congressional District of Virginia, I want 
to extend my congratulations to the church, the congregation, and the 
surrounding community for preserving one hundred years of faith and 
tradition.
