Methodist Church of Thayer, Illinois, for celebrating their 115th 
anniversary.

  In 1904, Thayer United Methodist Church was officially opened as a 
place of worship for the residents of the town. Since then, the church 
has grown immensely; it now provides the area with far more than a 
place to pray. This is where the residents of Thayer come to make 
strides towards improving their local community.
  The Thayer United Methodist Church is known throughout the area for 
the services that it has provided for the community over the last 115 
years. Today, we celebrate the church for their dedication to serving 
Thayer. I extend my sincere congratulations to the Thayer United 
Methodist Church for a successful 115 years, and I wish them even more 
success going forward.
