                         Thursday, May 21, 2015

  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Holy Cross 
Lutheran Church of St. Cloud, Minnesota, for their 125th anniversary.
  In 1890, Holy Cross Lutheran Church opened its doors. The 
congregation worshipped near the St. Cloud State University campus 
until they outgrew their facilities and in 1996 relocated to Clearwater 
Road.
  For 125 years, generations of central Minnesotans have gathered 
together to worship under this church's roof. Today, more than 1,000 
people celebrate their faith and love of Christ in this vibrant and 
growing faith community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that this body join me in congratulating Holy 
Cross Lutheran Church on their anniversary. May they have many more 
fruitful years to come.
