Mr. PAUL.
Madam Speaker, on May 16,
2010, Galveston, Texas will celebrate Reverend
David Everson Day in honor of Reverend
Eversonís eleven years of service as
the pastor of the First Union Baptist Church. I
am pleased to join the First Union Baptist congregation,
and all the people of Galveston, in
celebrating Reverend Eversonís 11 years of
service.
2010 Ron Paul 22:2
First Union Baptist has had numerous
achievements under Reverend Eversonís leadership.
For example, First Union Baptistís Hall
Chapel was repaired and adapted to serve as
a computer school and resource center for
youth and adult literacy. Reverend Everson
also led efforts to repair the church parsonage.
2010 Ron Paul 22:3
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike; Reverend
Everson worked tirelessly to meet the immediate
spiritual needs of the First Union Baptist
congregation while ensuring that First Union
Baptist could resume its schedule of regular
weekly services and ancillary activities as
soon as possible. Reverend Everson continued
to demonstrate exceptional commitment
to his parish while leading the efforts to repair
the damage the church suffered during Hurricane
Ike.
2010 Ron Paul 22:4
Reverend Everson has contributed greatly
to both the church, and the entire Galveston
community, by being there for all who need a
friend, comforter, and spiritual counselor. Reverend
Everson not only cares for those in his
congregation, he is always seeking to bring
new people into the First Union Baptist congregation.
The people of First Union Baptist,
and all of Galveston, are certainly lucky to
have such a dedicated man as Reverend
Everson in their community. I, therefore, join
the congregation of First Union Baptist Church
and all of the people of Galveston in celebrating
Reverend David Everson Day.
