                         Tuesday, May 24, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the St. John's 
United Church of Christ for providing faith and fellowship to the 
Rosenberg community for 75 years.
  St. John's United Church of Christ congregation has been a place of 
worship for generations. St. John's United Church of Christ had its 
beginnings in 1941 when Reverend William Luthe met in City Hall to 
develop plans for the beginning of an Evangelical and Reformed Church 
in Rosenberg. Since the church opened its doors, there have been six 
ministers and four interim ministers guiding their congregation in 
worship.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
want to congratulate St. John's United Church of Christ on its 75th 
anniversary. Thank you again for bringing faith, fellowship and worship 
to our community; we look forward to another 75 years.
