Still Standing on the Promises of God

What a great blessing it is to experience the move of God! First Church - College Station and St. Paul UMC - Port Arthur came together to celebrate the 66th Anniversary on Sunday afternoon. Giving tribute and honor to the historical churches which stood together in 1944 to create First United Methodist Church - College Station, provided the backdrop for a special candlelighting by family members from those churches as the history was read by Wendi Peterson.

Friends, family, and extended neighbors enjoyed great praise and worship from youth and adult choirs from both churches, prayers from Rev. Floyd Polk of Lee Chapel UMC in Bryan, TX, and a powerful message from Rev. Patricia A. Wells of St. Paul UMC. The Spiritual Movers of God (SMOG), Miracle Mime, and the Atmosphere Changers (College Students) from St. Paul UMC ushered in the spirit in a mighty way that gave everyone a renewed willingness to keep standing for God. Great fellowship and new connections were made with welcoming hearts that topped off the afternoon. God is good and we are still standing!
