                     Wednesday, September 22, 2021

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Raymore 
Presbyterian Church in Raymore, Missouri and to celebrate its 150th 
year of incorporation as a parish, which will be recognized on 
September 25th.
  In November of 1871, the Raymore Presbyterian Church was officially 
organized, and their current church building was completed in 1895. It 
is now the oldest standing building in Raymore, Missouri. The parish 
soon began making positive impacts in their local community.
  The Raymore Presbyterian Church parish expresses their love for their 
fellow neighbors by hosting an annual community food drive and by being 
supportive and comforting in the community. Since their church doors 
opened, they have continued with traditional hymnals, organ music, and 
a friendly and welcoming attitude.
  So, as we approach the 150th anniversary of incorporation of the 
Raymore Presbyterian Church in Raymore, Missouri, let us celebrate what 
God has done through the numerous rectors and clergy and the faithful 
parishioners in the service of God, their community, and our Nation.
