              CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH CELEBRATES 150 YEARS

  (Mr. FORTENBERRY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FORTENBERRY. Madam Speaker, I wish to congratulate Pastor Mike 
Moreno and the entire congregation of Christ Lutheran Church in 
Norfolk, Nebraska, on their 150th anniversary.
  With a shared mission to share God's word, share God's love, and as 
they say, ``Do it now,'' the community of Christ Lutheran Church is a 
family. As one member of the congregation said, ``When one is hurting, 
all are hurting. When one is joyful, we celebrate together.'' How 
beautiful.
  The church also oversees Christ Lutheran School, educating 225 
students in grades K-8, in an environment that develops a child 
spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially to know the personal 
story and potentiality of each student.
  Though we have many hardships and challenges in the world today, 
Madam Speaker, I am quite certain that Christ Lutheran Church and their 
community will remain a place of solace and hope for those seeking to 
hear good news.
