                    HONORING MINISTER DWAYNE ROBERTS

  (Mr. MIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Minister Dwayne Roberts 
of Second Baptist Church for his incredible 50 years of service to our 
community.
  Second Baptist Church is the oldest Black church in Orange County, 
and it has become a home for faith, music, and fellowship.
  Minister Roberts' 50 years of leadership are unprecedented. He served 
longer than any minister in the church's history. Through his gift for 
music ministry, he has touched and transformed countless lives.
  Minister Roberts' talents are numerous. He is a singer, musician, 
songwriter, and compelling speaker. For 50 years, he has used these 
gifts to help others.
  Last weekend, I had the honor of joining his congregation to 
celebrate Minister Roberts' 50th anniversary. I was moved by the love 
and respect for the minister in that room.
  This Black History Month, I am proud to recognize Minister Roberts 
and his tremendous legacy in Orange County.
