ALCEE L. HASTINGS of florida in the house of representatives Friday, December 23, 2016 Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor Payne Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church on the occasion of its 124th anniversary. This fine church, originally named Bethel, was founded on the island of Palm Beach in January 1893. Following its move to West Palm Beach in 1894, the name of the church was changed to Payne Chapel in honor of Bishop Daniel A. Payne. Payne Chapel, located on one of the highest hills in West Palm Beach, has always been recognized and appreciated for its heritage and the many services and contributions it has provided for its members and the citizens in surrounding communities. I want to congratulate the Reverend Henry E. Green, III, pastor of Payne Chapel, and all the church's members and friends on this momentous occasion. I am very proud to have such a fine institution of worship in my Congressional district. ____________________ |
