  Mr. McKEON. Madam Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to congratulate 
the Bethel A.M.E. Church for 59 years of outstanding community service.
  Organizations such as Bethel A.M.E. strengthen communities through 
faith and selfless charity. From the Church's humble beginnings to the 
present day, those involved with Bethel A.M.E. have shown steadfast 
dedication to their surrounding community and have worked diligently to 
improve the lives of those less fortunate Americans.
  Once again, congratulations to Bethel A.M.E. Church on its 59th 
anniversary. The Church has truly been a force of good in Barstow and I 
look forward to its continued growth and progress in advancing goodwill 
throughout California's 25th District.
