                     Wednesday, September 15, 2010

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Saint John's Lutheran Church of Corning, Missouri, as they celebrate 
their sesquicentennial anniversary.
  Since being founded as the Deutsch Evangelish Lutheraner St. Johannes 
in 1860, the St. John's congregation has remained a pillar of the 
community. The efforts of the community to save the church during the 
historic floods of 1951 and 1993 highlight the importance of this 
church to the surrounding area. The historical nature of the church was 
recognized in 2008 when it was placed on the National Registry of 
Historic Places.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in congratulating Saint 
John's Lutheran Church of Corning, Missouri for their 150 years of 
service to the Corning community.
