Madam Speaker, I wish to congratulate Pastor Mike Moreno and the entire congregation of Christ Lutheran Church in Norfolk, Nebraska, on their 150th anniversary. With a shared mission to share God's word, share God's love, and as they say, ``Do it now,'' the community of Christ Lutheran Church is a family. As one member of the congregation said, ``When one is hurting, all are hurting. When one is joyful, we celebrate together.'' How beautiful. The church also oversees Christ Lutheran School, educating 225 students in grades K-8, in an environment that develops a child spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially to know the personal story and potentiality of each student. Though we have many hardships and challenges in the world today, Madam Speaker, I am quite certain that Christ Lutheran Church and their community will remain a place of solace and hope for those seeking to hear good news. ____________________
