                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 24, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a milestone that 
will be celebrated this weekend by the people of Trinity Evangelical 
Lutheran Church in Webster City, Iowa. This Sunday, June 29th the 
people of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran will celebrate the 50th 
anniversary of the dedication of its current location at 1229 Kathy 
Lane.
  The congregation will recreate the May 25, 1958, processional walk 
from the original location on Des Moines Street just as it was done a 
half century ago. Trinity's oldest confirmed member, Dimple Raven, who 
was part of the original procession, will join fellow members as they 
duplicate the walk. Ashlyn Sue Hill, Trinity's youngest member, will 
also play an important role in the 50th anniversary celebration with 
her baptism during Sunday's special worship service.
  Also joining in the celebration will be former Trinity pastors 
Raymond Roden and Doug Tiffany.
  I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in 
congratulating the Reverend Dr. Mike Kroona, the staff and the 
congregation of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church on this milestone 
and wishing them grace and peace throughout the following years.
