              RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF DR. JAMES L. LEE

                       Tuesday, December 14, 2021

  Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
service of Dr. James L. Lee of Conway, South Carolina.
  In June of 1922, Dr. Lee was appointed to a small country church of 
only a few people. Under his strong leadership, Catoe Chapel Church of 
God in Christ has grown to be one of the largest churches in Kershaw 
County, with over two hundred active members. Throughout the community, 
Dr. Lee is known as a dynamic preacher and prolific teacher of God's 
word, and he lives exactly by what he preaches.
  Although he lived in Conway, Dr. Lee abided by his faith and took the 
helm of leading this small ministry, believing God would use him to 
take the church to insurmountable heights. God did exactly that and 
more. Dr. Lee even inspired church members to build a beautiful new 
edifice, seated off Highway 341.
  Dr. Lee's guidance and wisdom has aided and encouraged countless 
families through difficult times. He has helped families find housing 
assistance, student scholarships, and numerous community enrichment and 
outreach programs. Despite dealing with his own health challenges, Dr. 
Lee has remained committed to his ministry and the church. His life as 
a servant of the Lord is so deeply evident in how he cares for those 
around him.
  On behalf of the 5th District of South Carolina, I thank Dr. James L. 
Lee for his thirty years of faithful service. He is a true example of a 
servant leader and has been a tremendous resource to our community. May 
God continue to bless Dr. Lee and his family.
