                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 16, 2001

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call the attention of my 
colleagues to the Mount Pisgah Baptist Temple located in the Sixth 
District of New Jersey that is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
  Throughout its long history, the Mount Pisgah Baptist Temple has 
served its community under the leadership of only six pastors. Located 
in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Mount Pisgah has made its mark on the 
surrounding communities. Mount Pisgah is at the forefront of religious 
service through its wonderful preaching and teaching ministry. 
Additionally, Mount Pisgah has served as a center for feeding and 
providing clothing for the poor.
  Through its weekly Bible Study and Prayer Services on Sunday mornings 
and Wednesday evenings, it has provided Christian education training to 
people of all ages. To help the youth of the community, Mount Pisgah 
provides after school tutoring services.
  ``Let Brotherly Love Continue . . .'' Hebrews 13:1, serves as the 
mission statement for this neighborhood based worship center. Their 
main objective is to ``Spread the Good News'' by loving, sharing, and 
caring for others.
  On this day, we celebrate the hundred auspicious years that the Mount 
Pisgah Baptist Temple has stood as a symbol of spiritual unity, of 
which we should all be proud. I applaud their desire to continue their 
mission of serving God, as well as the community, with love and 
devotion to all.
