                           CROSSROADS CHURCH

  Mr. PORTMAN. Madam President, today I wish to congratulate Crossroads 
Church on 50 years of ministry in Pickaway County, OH. The Crossroads 
Church held its first service in 1963 under the leadership of Rev. Roy 
Ferguson.
  Crossroads Church was created as an extension of Circleville First 
Church to provide ministry in the growing community. In 1998, as it 
continued to grow, the church purchased 71 acres just east of the city 
of Circleville. In October 2001, Crossroads Church opened its doors for 
the first service at the new spacious location.
  Crossroads Church remains grounded in the traditions of the Christian 
faith. Today, I congratulate all who have been involved in the first 50 
years of ministry to Circleville.
