RECOGNIZING FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH'S 200TH YEAR OF MINISTRY
______
HON. ANDY LEVIN
of michigan
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, October 12, 2021
Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize First United Methodist Church, which is celebrating its 200th year of ministry in Mount Clemens, Michigan.
In 1821, the church opened its doors to the community, then known as
``Mount Clemens Methodist Episcopal Church.'' Throughout its two hundred years, the church has built its reputation as a beloved community institution in Mount Clemens. Today, First United Methodist describes itself as ``a welcoming, accepting, caring, and diverse Christian community.'' The church celebrates this milestone year under the remarkable leadership of Reverend Dan Hart, Senior Pastor, and Reverend Alicea Williams, Deacon. Reverend Hart and Reverend Williams excel not only in leading engaging worship services, but also in building community programs, directing church outreach and caring for their beautiful congregation.
I encourage my colleagues to join me in offering congratulations to the entire First United Methodist Church community as they celebrate two hundred years of ministry and service in Mount Clemens.
