                         Monday, July 15, 2013

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rev. Dr. Henry 
P. Davis, Jr. on his 40th Pastoral Anniversary and his retirement as 
Pastor of St. Paul Baptist Church in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. 
Dr. Davis has dedicated 40 years to leading the church and serving the 
community and his contributions are truly deserving of this body's 
recognition.
  Dr. Davis began serving as Pastor of St. Paul Baptist Church in 1973. 
Since that time, twelve individuals entered the ministry, eight of 
which now serve as pastors, including his son, Dr. Henry P. Davis, III 
of the First Baptist Church of Highland Park, New Jersey. He has 
provided outstanding mentorship and spiritual guidance to his 
congregation. He has also served as the Secretary of the Moderator's 
Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention USA, Inc. for 13 years.
  Dr. Davis earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from Drew University 
and his Master of Divinity degree from New Brunswick Theological 
Seminary. In addition, Dr. Davis also holds a Bachelor of Science 
degree from Huston-Tillotson College in Houston, Texas and a Master of 
Education degree from Prairie View A&M University.
  In addition to his service to St. Paul Baptist Church, Dr. Davis is 
an active member of his community. He serves as President of the 
Greater Red Bank Chapter of the NAACP; Dean of Education of the 
Monmouth Bible Institute in Farmingdale, New Jersey; and moderator of 
the Seacoast Missionary Baptist Association.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Dr. Davis on his 
pastoral anniversary and retirement and thanking him for his many years 
of dedicated service and leadership to the St. Paul Baptist Church 
congregation.
