  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation to pay tribute to a landmark institution from my district. 
The Palisade Seventh-Day Adventist Church of Palisade, Colorado has 
served its parishioners and our community for over a century. By 
working to promote a spirit of unity and cooperation, the church has 
shaped the Palisade community for the better. For dedication to serving 
its community, I am honored to pay tribute to the Palisade Seventh-Day 
Adventist Church here today.
  Founded in 1903, the Palisade Seventh-Day Adventist Church has worked 
tirelessly to meet the needs of its parishioners and the community at 
large. Its work includes everything from holding a week-long Vacation 
Bible School in the summer to preparing individuals to serve on mission 
trips overseas. The church is dedicated to reaching out to all members 
of the community, seeking to serve everyone in need.
  Mr. Speaker, the efforts of Palisade Seventh-Day Adventist Church to 
meet the needs of their community and foster a spirit of generosity are 
an inspiration. The Palisade Seventh-Day Adventist Church is an 
institution that many in the Palisade community turn to for guidance 
and encouragement in their daily lives. I am honored to join with my 
colleagues today in honoring the Palisade Seventh-Day Adventist Church 
for its tireless work and dedication to the community.
