Town Talk
Thanks to Friona Christian Ministries for hosting the Annual Community Thanksgiving Worship Service. Thanks also to First Baptist Church for sharing their church with the community. A special offering was taken which will be used throughout the year to help people in need. Around $4,200.00 was collected. Call Brett Hoyle at First Baptist Church at 806-250-3933 if you wish to make a donation to this worthy cause. Last year, over 27 families were helped in their time of need by this ministry.

The Chieftains and Falcons are not fierce rivals, but each team is looking forward to the upcoming season and all the players want to make a good impression.
