        CELEBRATING THE FOUNDING OF COMMONWEALTH OF FAITH CHURCH

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 28, 2020

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to Commonwealth of 
Faith Church as they put down their roots in Redford Township, 
Michigan.
   Under the leadership of Pastor Torion Bridges, like-minded community 
members came together with the common goal of establishing a multi-
generational house of worship to serve the spiritual needs of the 
surrounding community. They were able to establish a brand-new 
congregation by relighting the lamps of the building formerly home to 
St. Robert of Bellarmine Church. This group of people have sought to 
breathe new life into an existing building and work to bring a diverse 
group of people together in community service and in faith.
   Please join me in recognizing Commonwealth of Faith Church as they 
establish their spiritual community and teachings, and become rooted in 
Redford.
