                         Tuesday, July 30, 2013

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise in tribute today of 
the Tyree A.M.E. Church to celebrate its Centennial Anniversary. Over 
the past 100 years, the Tyree A.M.E. Church has endured as the 
spiritual home for countless numbers of Philadelphia's citizens.
  This past century, eighteen pastors have led the church successfully, 
relying on the steadfast faith and fellowship of its members to improve 
the church and surrounding community. The church's resolute 
determination to continue their noble work has set a great example for 
congregations across the country.
  I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues help me in 
honoring the Centennial Anniversary of the founding of the Tyree A.M.E 
Church. May it continue to grow and prosper for another 100 years and 
beyond.
