It Was Twenty Years Ago Today… Youth pastor Heather Gales of League City sprays youth pastor Lowell Bagott of Seabrook while washing cars in the First United Methodist church parking lot Friday June 30, 2006. Both were part of the United Methodist Action Reach-out Mission by Youth group who have been in Longview since Sunday repairing homes. The group was washing off the writing that they had on their cars all week to raise awareness about their mission. (Luisa Morenilla/Longview News-Journal)
