That old brick building, Aldine United Church, has seen a lot since 1868. Back then, it wasn’t brick at all. This congregation, started in 1841, was still worshipping in a simple structure called Nazareth Church. They built Aldine Methodist Episcopal church, a sturdy brick building meant to last. It almost didn’t. In 1893, a cyclone ripped through, tearing off the roof and destroying the east end. For six long years, the building sat silent, a testament to the storm’s fury. But the congregation persevered, eventually rebuilding and continuing their journey of faith. Over the years, Aldine United Church expanded. They even relocated an old schoolhouse from Canhouse Road to use as a social hall, hosting dinners and those famous Duck Suppers. The church continued to grow, adding an education building, connecting it to the main church, and enlarging the sanctuary to accommodate its ever-growing congregation. Today, Aldine United Church stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith and community spirit in the heart of Houston.
