Remembering Mother Goose and St John’s UMC History
A reminiscence ties Cedar Bayou Methodist Church history to St. John’s UMC. Rita Womack, who compiled church history for the Bicentennial, recalled a WWII memory of German prisoners on Evergreen Road and Bayland Guards drill. The piece traces St. John’s roots to a Tabbs Bay mission begun by Cedar Bayou Methodists amid oil-field growth, later becoming First Methodist then St. John’s in 1949.
