 RECOGNIZING THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD FOR THEIR 170TH 
                              ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JERRY L. CARL

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 8, 2024

  Mr. CARL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Episcopal Church 
of the Good Shepherd for their 170th Church Anniversary. Formed in 
1854, the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd has triumphed through 
wars, economic turmoil, and the Civil Rights Movement. Their motto. 
``Guiding and supporting one another, to love and to serve, giving 
thanks to God for our rich heritage,'' embodies who they are and how 
they live their lives as a congregation. The Church truly has a 
profound legacy of being Alabama's oldest historically black Episcopal 
church. We are so grateful for the impact that this Church has on our 
great state and Alabama's First Congressional District.
