                         Tuesday, June 7, 2022

  Mr. BARR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Rosemont Baptist 
Church in Lexington, Kentucky on their 75th anniversary.
  The church was founded in 1947. At that time, it was the entry point 
to south Lexington. There weren't any houses or other buildings in the 
area when the church was built. The neighborhood grew up around the 
church.
  As the congregation gathers to celebrate the 75th anniversary, I 
recognize the impact that this congregation has made on the Lexington 
community over the years. The church has reached thousands of people 
with food, financial assistance, and spiritual sustenance.
  I congratulate Senior Pastor Eddie Benton and all the members of 
Rosemont Baptist Church in Lexington on their 75th anniversary and wish 
them many more years of successful ministry, serving God and reaching 
out to the community.
