                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 7, 2000

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize the 
Evangelical United Church of Christ in Godfrey, IL. They recently 
celebrated their 150th anniversary.
  The celebration was marked with a service, a dinner, and a program, 
along with a display of memories set up in the church. It was a great 
time for the congregation to celebrate where they have been and where 
they are going.
  I would like to take this opportunity to encourage them and thank 
them for their many years of ministry. I wish the church continued 
growth and another 150 years of service.
