                     RECOGNIZING HIGH STREET CHURCH

 Mr. JONES. Mr. President, I rise today in recognition of High 
Street Church of Christ in Tuscumbia, AL. For over a century, this 
church has been a source of hope and inspiration to the city of 
Tuscumbia and the State of Alabama. Through their ministry and 
outreach, they have transformed the lives of so many Alabamians.
  Last year, on September 28-30, High Street Church of Christ hosted 
their centennial celebration with 2 days of events commemorating 100 
years of tireless work and dedication. The speakers for the event 
included Brothers Michael S. Robert, Mansel Long, and Stanley Hubbard, 
many of whom who have been longstanding members of the church. I am 
proud to be able to honor the High Street Church here on the U.S. 
Senate floor and to let the congregants of this church know that they 
have my support and good wishes.
  In is written, ``Upon this rock I will build my church.'' High Street 
Church of Christ has proven to be a rock--a pillar of the local 
community in Northwest Alabama--since its inception in 1918. High 
Street Church has been a trailblazer as one of the first minority 
congregations in north Alabama. Under the current leadership of 
Brothers Eddie Goodloe, William Long, Roderick Metcalf, and Thomas 
Sledge, the church's good work continues.
  As they approach their 101st celebration, I congratulate the church 
on its first 100 years, and I look forward its continued growth and 
watching its
