H.R. No. 99 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The First United Methodist Church of Buna has | ||
received an official Texas State Historical Marker in recognition | ||
of its long and notable history; and | ||
WHEREAS, In January 1904, Tex Rogers and James, John, Ethel, | ||
and Minnie Hancock came together to establish a Methodist church; | ||
services were held in the town's schoolhouse until 1922, when the | ||
congregation dedicated the building and community hall it continues | ||
to occupy to this day; through the years, a number of additions have | ||
been made to the structure to meet the growing needs of its members; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The house of worship has provided area residents | ||
with myriad opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship, and | ||
community outreach, supporting such worthwhile programs as the | ||
Epworth League, United Methodist Women and Men, and Methodist Youth | ||
Fellowship; and | ||
WHEREAS, The First United Methodist Church has played a | ||
significant role in Buna, and recognition by the Texas Historical | ||
Commission is a tribute to the unwavering commitment of its | ||
congregants, both past and present, to their church and their | ||
community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the dedication of a Texas State | ||
Historical Marker for the First United Methodist Church of Buna and | ||
extend to its members sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the church as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
Christian | ||
