  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker: Whereas, the dedicated people of the First 
Presbyterian Church of Fredericktown celebrate the church's 200th 
anniversary with great joy; and
   Whereas, occasions such as these illustrate the resiliency and 
determination of spirit a congregation such as this can have over such 
a long period of time; and
   Whereas, it is the fond wish of this body that you will continue to 
be a model for worship and a beacon for hope to the destitute and that 
your presence over these two centuries has made the community a better 
place to live due to the contributions made by members of the 
congregation both past and present, therefore, be it
   Resolved that along with friends, family, and the residents of the 
18th Congressional District, I commend the congregation for your 
unwavering commitment to the residents of Fredericktown and recognize 
the tremendous impact the church and members of the congregation have 
had on the community over two centuries. With great appreciation and 
respect, we express great appreciation for your 200 years of service to 
the community and to the lives of those people you have touched.
