                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 11, 2013

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask for the 
House's attention today to recognize the congregation of Eulaton 
Baptist Church, which will be celebrating their 125th anniversary on 
June 13th.
  In 1888, in the community of Eulatonin, Alabama, 30 people gathered 
to worship in an old school house. Eulatonin, a community in Anniston, 
Alabama, was named after Mrs. Eula Ford. This church was founded as a 
Southern Missionary Baptist Church with an emphasis on missions.
  One hundred twenty-five years later, this church and its congregation 
have grown immensely. However, they remain focused on missions and 
serving their community of Eulaton, in Anniston, Alabama.
  On Sunday, August 4th, members, friends and the community will gather 
together at the church to remember, reflect and rejoice on the triumphs 
of Eulaton Baptist Church. Please join me in celebrating their rich 
history and wishing them great success in the future.
