   COMMEMORATING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF PEACEFUL ZION BAPTIST CHURCH

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate one of my 
district's most venerable churches. This year marks the 75th 
anniversary of the Peaceful Zion Baptist Church in East Orange, New 
Jersey.
  It has been known as a sanctuary for those in need throughout that 
time. It runs a food pantry for those in need of a meal. It provides 
clothing for those who could use a warm coat or socks.
  The community of Peaceful Zion is so strong that members have been 
known to bring food to ailing families. One of its members said: 
``Everyone is there for one another.''
  Congratulations to Peaceful Zion Baptist Church on its 75th 
anniversary. They are a blessed beacon of loving care in my 10th 
District in New Jersey.
