  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Reverend Dr. 
Ronald E. Hodges and his congregation on the grand opening of the 
Christian Faith World Ministries Church (CFWMC) in Addison, Texas on 
September 30, 2012.
  Through the prayer, hard work and leadership of Reverend Hodges, the 
vision of a new church facility is now a reality. Strategically 
located, CFWMC plans to reach out to the people of Addison as well as 
to the neighboring communities of Carrollton, Farmers Branch, and North 
Dallas. The church offers a variety of ministries, including 
counseling, fellowship groups, and education programs, designed to 
provide a wide range of opportunities for individuals to serve, 
connect, and establish community. Faith is of great importance and 
plays a vital role in our society. It strengthens families and 
relationships, instills values and principles, and encourages 
participation for the betterment of our communities.
  I am delighted to recognize Reverend Hodges and Christian Faith World 
Ministries Church as they celebrate this special occasion. Mr. Speaker, 
I ask my esteemed colleagues to join me in expressing our heartfelt 
congratulations on the grand opening of this new facility. May God 
bless Reverend Hodges and his congregation.
