This Ain’t My First Rodeo Tailgate Party
About The Tailgate
First Houston UMC is taking the Houston Rodeo Parade by storm on Saturday, February 28th, and we want you there! Since we have the best seats in the house right on the parade route, we’re hosting a massive Tailgate Party to show our city what makes this church so special.
We’ll be out front handing out info on our upcoming Family Ministry events and the Quillian Center, spreading hospitality to our neighbors as they head to the rodeo. Grab your boots, bring your lawn chairs, and help us make a “First” impression they won’t forget!
