IN RECOGNITION OF FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OF PACE'S NEW SANCTUARY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JEFF MILLER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 10, 2006

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor for me to 
rise today to extend my congratulations to First United Methodist 
Church of Pace on the opening of their new sanctuary.
  First United Methodist Church of Pace was founded in 1955 and has 
since grown to be a vital part of the Santa Rosa County community. The 
congregation began meeting in a single room of a cement block shop. The 
church has grown in many ways, most recently with the addition of their 
new sanctuary. In 1992 a building committee was formed to look into the 
possibility of expanding First United Methodist Church of Pace's 
facilities. With the financial and spiritual support of the 
congregation this vision has now become a reality.
  From their humble beginning over 50 years ago, First United Methodist 
Church of Pace has blossomed into a thriving place of worship.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I would like to 
offer my heartfelt congratulations to First United Methodist Church of 
Pace on the opening of their new sanctuary. The dedication of the 
congregation to their church should be commended, and I am pleased to 
have First United Methodist Church of Pace in my district.
