                     Wednesday, September 25, 2019

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pastor Eddie 
Williams for his thirteen years of service to the congregation at 
Lakeridge Village Ministries Church of God in Christ.
  Lakeridge Village Ministries was founded on the principle of 
uplifting people from all walks of life in spirituality and that the 
gift of spirituality is not limited to clergy. Pastor Williams has 
sought to lead his flock under that guidance, fostering a true sense of 
community and caring for the most vulnerable. In addition to his work 
in ministry, Pastor Williams has sought to expand resources and options 
for people suffering from the pain of addiction and mental illness. His 
work at Lakeridge Village has accomplished so much in fighting the 
stigma around mental health issues and connecting those struggling with 
substance abuse to the assistance they need. In short Pastor Williams 
has performed outstanding service to the community through his ministry 
and charitable work.
  Please join me in tribute to Pastor Eddie Williams in celebration of 
his thirteen years in spiritual service to Lakeridge Village Ministries 
Church of God in Christ.
