recognize United Pentecostal Church of Weches on the occasion of
its 90th anniversary, which is being celebrated April 19, 2015;

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
