  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Second 
Bethlehem Baptist Church's Centennial Celebration that commemorates the 
lives and accomplishments of Second Bethlehem Baptist church.
  Founded in 1923, right in the heart of Savannah, this church has been 
committed to serving its community for a century. The influence that 
the Second Bethlehem Baptist church has in its community is 
outstanding, positively influencing over 40,000 individuals in the 
region, and over 100,000 worldwide.
  The church has numerous outreach achievements, one being the 
establishment of Life Skills for Empowerment Center Inc., a non-profit 
organization that is working to fight against violence in Savannah.
  Second Bethlehem Baptist Church also offers feeding programs, 
clothing closets, and various types of assistance to those in need.
  I thank the Second Bethlehem Baptist Church for being a beacon of 
hope in our community, and congratulate them on 100 amazing years.
