Rec. E1936 Congressional Record, Volume 142 Issue 143 (Monday, October 21, 1996) [Congressional Record Volume 142, Number 143 (Monday, October 21, 1996)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1936] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] HONORING SOUTH POST OAK BAPTIST CHURCH ON ITS 37TH ANNIVERSARY ______ HON. KEN BENTSEN of texas in the house of representatives Monday, October 21, 1996 Mr. BENTSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor South Post Oak Baptist Church in my district as it celebrates its 37th anniversary, and I extend to Pastor Remus E. Wright a special congratulations for all that he has done for the church and for our community. Under Pastor Wright's leadership, the church has experienced rapid growth. Once as small as 150 members, the church today serves more than 2,000 members. Pastor Wright has established 20 new ministries and enhanced several others so that the church can better fulfill its mission of Christian service to our community. Pastor Wright's concern for people goes far beyond the membership of South Post Oak Baptist Church. He is extensively involved in the community around the church. He currently serves on community boards for two high schools in Houston. In May 1994, the city of Houston and Mayor Bob Lanier proclaimed Rev. Ramus E. Wright Day in Houston in recognition of the work he has done at South Post Oak and in the community. Pastor Wright has been an example for all of us through his community leadership, his caring for others, and his deep and abiding faith. By following that example, the members of South Post Oak Baptist Church have enriched our community for all of us. As the church celebrates its 37th anniversary, I want to express may deep appreciation to Pastor Wright and the members of the church for their good work, and I wish them well in the future. I have no doubt that their many ministries will continue to flourish and prosper to the betterment of us all. ____________________
