The resolution honors Reverend Marvin Joe Moore and his wife, Mildred Ann Moore, for their remarkable 50 years of pastoral leadership at First Church Bay City, which will be celebrated on May 25, 2025. Throughout their tenure, the Moores have demonstrated unwavering dedication and compassion, guiding their congregation while also mentoring aspiring clergy members. Their commitment to the church has been further enriched by witnessing their children and grandchildren engage in various church ministries. Reverend Moore has preached globally, including in countries such as South Africa and India, while Sister Moore has contributed significantly to the church's music ministry and has been actively involved in supporting victims of domestic violence.

The Texas House of Representatives expresses its sincere appreciation for the Moores' half-century of service and their impactful contributions to the community. The resolution not only honors their achievements but also extends best wishes for their future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House of Representatives.
