                       Thursday, October 19, 2023

  Ms. BUSH. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, St. Louis and I rise to celebrate 
the 90th anniversary of the Lite of Jericho Missionary Baptist Church 
in Missouri's First District.
  The Lite of Jericho Missionary Baptist Church has been a spiritual 
beacon in the St. Louis community. Under the leadership of Reverend 
Reginald D. Rogers, Sr., the church has provided meals for those in 
need and organized health fairs for residents in the surrounding 
neighborhoods.
  The church has also been an avid supporter of Annie Malone Children 
and Family Services. I am thankful for their work and commitment to 
community service, including partnering with Beyond Me Outreach, which 
sits under the North City Community Development Corporation.
  I wish the Lite of Jericho Missionary Baptist Church success in their 
future endeavors, including their goal of constructing an educational 
facility to promote literacy among youth in the First District.
  St. Louis honors the Lite of Jericho Missionary Baptist Church on a 
blessed 90 years of service and worship.
