	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 467
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize United Pentecostal Church of Weches on the occasion of
	its 90th anniversary, which is being celebrated April 19, 2015;
	and

	WHEREAS, United Pentecostal Church of Weches traces its
	roots to a group of worshippers led by the Reverend Edwin Roark,
	who served as the church's pastor for more than 20 years; the
	congregation met outdoors, in tents, and at various locations for
	many years, until a permanent home for the church was found in
	1950; and

	WHEREAS, Through the years, United Pentecostal Church of
	Weches has ministered to the temporal and spiritual needs of
	countless people; under the guidance and wise stewardship of its
	pastors, and with the leadership of its current pastor, the
	Reverend Richard Motes Jr., it has continued to grow and to play a
	vital role in the life of the Weches community; and

	WHEREAS, The church has become an invaluable source of
	strength for church members in times of hardship and bereavement and
	a place of fellowship in times of abundance and celebration; and

	WHEREAS, The observance of its 90th anniversary is a
	reflection of the church's enduring commitment to providing
	enlightenment and hope to its congregation; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
	Legislature, hereby extend best wishes to the members and clergy
	of United Pentecostal Church of Weches on the joyous occasion of
	its 90th anniversary; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	the church as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.

	Nichols
