                        Tuesday, October 8, 2019

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to Power Hope and 
Grace Bible Church, a house of worship in Detroit, Michigan.
  Founded in 1959, Power Hope and Grace Bible Church has persisted and 
prevailed despite the many changes in the City of Detroit. The church 
and its congregation have continued to thrive because of their 
incredible commitment to community service and generosity to those in 
need. The Power Hope and Grace community has regularly provided 
assistance and supplies to local shelters for the homeless, runs an 
annual back to school fair, offering free school supplies, hair cuts, 
and more, and assists in annual holiday toy drives. Beyond its 
charitable works, the congregation has been a training site for the 
Michigan Alliance for Families and participated in the Career Works 
summer program. In addition to this milestone anniversary, Power Hope 
and Grace Bible Church recently celebrated the paying off of its 
mortgage, further cementing this institution as an asset in the 
community.
  Please join me in recognizing Power Hope and Grace Bible Church in 
honor of their sixtieth anniversary.
