As you approach our home town of Lake Jackson you begin seeing gorgeous spreading oak trees. John Wesley understood that and practiced it. He and his followers have been willing to go anywhere and make any sacrifice in order to offer Christ to others. Signs and symbols are more important than we realize. The wedding ring symbolizes the union between a husband and wife.
Baptism is an outward and visible sign of something that is spiritual.
It is the most powerful reminder of the truth that there is no limit to God's love for each one of us. It is at the heart of everything we do and everything for which the church stands. Thanks to the creative and artistic ability of one of our members, Scott Thompson, the members of Lake Jackson First United Methodist have a logo that captures who we are. The tree is obvious. The circuit rider, within the branches and leaves of the tree, is a little less apparent.
