                      Thursday, September 28, 2006

  Mr. BONNER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to Shelton Beach 
Road Baptist Church on the occasion of its 47th year.
  Shelton Beach Road Baptist Church has been a vital partner of the 
city of Saraland and the State of Alabama. The church was founded in 
1959, and for the last 47 years, this congregation has been worshipping 
God and serving the people of south Alabama.
  The congregation of Shelton Beach Road Baptist Church has used its 
resources and opportunities to provide hope, comfort, instruction, and 
inspiration to countless citizens in the north Mobile County area. 
Their outstretched arms have touched the hearts of many through their 
efforts in missionary projects throughout the world.
  Shelton Beach Road Baptist Church has lovingly served the people of 
Saraland through its contributions to children and family throughout 
the community. The Shelton Beach Road Baptist kindergarten and day care 
center, and the beautifully constructed family life center, are among 
the inspirational services provided to the young people of north Mobile 
County. The World of Life Club, the Olympians Club, and Gopher Buddies 
are just a few of the many youth activities offered to help instill 
Christian values in the children of Saraland.
  It is my sincere hope that the Shelton Beach Road Baptist Church will 
continue to be such a source of inspiration, hope, and comfort to the 
people of Saraland for another 47 years, and I rise today to salute 
this wonderful congregation and the many contributions they have made 
toward the betterment of south Alabama.
