                  CONGRATULATING REVEREND ROY McVEIGH

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in reflection and gratitude of 
Reverend Roy McVeigh for his years of guidance, encouragement, and 
stewardship at Trinity on the Hill Global Methodist Church in Augusta, 
Georgia.
  For decades, Roy has been a pillar of leadership in youth ministry, 
faithfully investing in generations of young people. A devoted 
Christian, father, grandfather, and friend, Roy's influence extends far 
beyond the walls of our church.
  I witnessed firsthand the profound influence he had on all four of my 
children and now my grandchildren. It was because of Roy that Robin and 
I were able to watch our four children grow in their relationship with 
our Lord and Savior, one of life's greatest blessings. In fact, it was 
that influence and their influence that changed my life.
  As Roy and Kathy begin their next chapter in North Carolina, I am 
reminded of his favorite Bible verse, John 3:30, which tells us: ``He 
must increase, but I must decrease.'' These profound words reflect the 
humility and faith that have defined his ministry for many years.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Roy on a well-earned retirement, and may 
God continue to bless him and Kathy and their entire family in the days 
ahead.
