                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 19, 2022

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the Historic 
First Jurisdiction of Michigan Northeast, a house of worship located in 
Detroit, Michigan and to honor the Right Reverend Zachary N. Hicks and 
his elevation to the Bishopric.
  Bishop Hicks has faithfully pastored the Faith Clinic Church of God 
in Christ for over thirty years, ministering to the needs of 
individuals of many backgrounds in the surrounding community. He has 
led with a natural instinct to provide for his congregation and 
community through numerous outstanding programs to residents regardless 
of age, sex, opportunity, or background.
  Bishop Hicks also notably has developed and overseen many housing and 
food assistance programs over the decades and is currently leading the 
Love N Kindness Community Development Corporation to provide to 
homeless veterans in the metropolitan Detroit area. His service shows a 
clear commitment to community development and prosperity, with a 
specific focus on the underprivileged and disenfranchised.
  Bishop Hicks has proven his love and compassion both with his 
congregation and with the greater community, and this experience will 
serve as a great wealth of knowledge and opportunity to lead in this 
new role. Please join me in celebrating Bishop Zachary N. Hicks in 
honor of his elevation to Bishop at the Historic First Jurisdiction of 
Michigan, Northeast.
