                       Friday, September 20, 2019

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to Pentecostal 
Temple Church of God in Christ, a house of worship in Inkster, 
Michigan, as its members celebrate the church's ninetieth anniversary.
   Pentecostal Church of God in Christ was founded in 1930. 
Construction of the church itself was a labor of love initiated by 
pledges and donations of community members and built by their own 
hands. Since then, the church has grown to accommodate its flock and 
its many programs. The same sense of community that was present at the 
church's inception is still evident in its growth both physically and 
spiritually. Over the years, Pentecostal Church of God in Christ has 
expanded to include a school for kindergarten through sixth. It offers 
summer programs, daycare, and even technology classes. The legacy of 
community service and inclusion lives on under the leadership of Pastor 
Kellen Brooks, the grandson of Pentecostal Church in God's longest 
serving pastor, the late Bishop Isaac King, Jr.
   Please join me in tribute to Pastor Kellen Brooks and the members of 
Pentecostal Church of God in Christ as we recognize its ninetieth 
anniversary.
