                       Wednesday, April 28, 2010

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the grand 
opening of the Elite News National Religious Hall of Fame Museum on 
Thursday, April 29, 2010.
  First launched in 2000 by Mr. William Blair, Jr., the National 
Religious Hall of Fame Museum seeks to celebrate, encourage, and 
showcase the positive impact of ministers in our local community. The 
inductees are individuals that have been active in ministry for at 
least fifteen years and are honored for their community, social, and 
spiritual contributions. Their dedicated efforts have positively 
influenced our community and touched the lives of numerous individuals, 
spanning generations.
  The National Religious Hall of Fame Museum highlights the important 
role ministers play in our society. They work countless hours, 
wholeheartedly devoted to serving God and mankind. Although the results 
of their tireless efforts may be unseen by many, the impact of our 
ministers speak loudly in the legacy they leave and in the lives they 
transform. This museum serves as a tribute to how they have made our 
community and our world a better place.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my esteemed colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Elite News and their commitment to honoring ministers 
with the National Religious Hall of Fame Museum.
