You will notice we use a new name for our food ministry, but you can expect food and service as good as or better than before. We will be getting our shipments from a source closer to home. Instead of being shipped from Georgia, our foods will be coming from Affiliated Foods in Amarillo. Specials will now be available at or below the price we have been paying, and there will be no limits on the number of specials we can order. There is one temporary hitch which we hope to be able to overcome quickly. Until new connections can be made, we will be unable to process Lone Star Cards for food orders. We hope this can be solved before our deadline Friday, March 16th, but it may take a bit longer to get ready for this service. With God as our guide and your wonderful support, we pray our ministry will grow. Crave God’s Approval Women's Ministry * Wednesday morning Ladies Bible Class meets at 10 AM in Room 111.
