                       Tuesday, November 18, 2014

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 70th 
Anniversary of the First Assembly of God in Potosi, Missouri. In 1944 
the first members of this church came together seeking to build a 
community of believers to worship and to serve others. The First 
Assembly of God is part of the large council of Assemblies of God which 
is celebrating their 100th year.
  First Assembly works to reach out to the community of Potosi and 
beyond. Among their many services, they minister to the youth with 
different programs that aim to teach and encourage young kids to grow 
in their faith. They also support missionaries across the globe who are 
working selflessly to bring aid and the love of Christ to those in 
need.
  For the years of service and their commitment to helping others, it 
is my pleasure to recognize the 70th Anniversary of the First Assembly 
of God in the House of Representatives.
