Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church's 120th anniversary. For over 120 years on the north side of Fort Worth near the stockyards, this church has been a pillar of the community where people of all backgrounds can come and worship and gather. In 1902, Mrs. Cenie Campbell Stovall, a dedicated Christian woman, organized the church's first Sunday school classes held in the backyard of Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy on the southwest corner of 24th and Ross Avenue. For years, this church has been such a pivotal part of the Fort Worth community. They have organized so many different events and activities that benefit the north side and all of Fort Worth. From 1958 until 2015, they were under the direction of the venerable Reverend Albert E. Chew, Jr. Now, they are under the direction of Kraig Lowell Pullam, and they continue to do great things. Again, Shiloh, congratulations on 120 years, and here is wishing you a great 120 more. ____________________
