  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Macedonia Missionary 
Baptist Church in my hometown of Farmville, North Carolina. This 
congregation recently celebrated 126 years of serving our Lord and 
Savior, Jesus Christ. The passion and commitment from this church has 
helped to spread the Word and Humility of Christ throughout the town of 
Farmville and surrounding communities for many, many years.
  The ministry and community outreach performed by the people of 
Macedonia M.B. have helped meet the needs of so many. I am proud and 
honored to call these people my neighbors.
  I want to thank the church family of Macedonia Missionary Baptist and 
Pastor Dr. Jerry W. Spruell as they continue to improve the quality of 
life for so many people and commend them on this milestone in their 
ministry. I pray that they will be blessed with many more years of 
service to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
  As it is written in the book of Hebrews 6:10, ``God is not unjust, He 
will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you helped 
His people and continue to help them.''
  Congratulations on your 126 years of service.
