Local church launches prayer initiative
The First United Methodist Church of Bowie wants to involve the public and local churches in a commitment to pray daily for the personnel of Bowie Independent School District.
Pray for Team Bowie is an opportunity to express support for all employees who touch the lives of the town’s children daily.
This is a one-year school calendar commitment by a prayer partner to pray daily for the safety and well-being of public-school personnel.
Signing up is easy. Go to www.prayforteambowie.com to sign up as an individual to pray or as a local church to “partner up “with FUMC to help spread this ministry.
If you would like a hard copy of the sign-up form, please contact Cyndi at FUMC at 940-872-3384 or through email at infoatprayforteambowie.com for more information.
Kick-off for this prayer ministry will be on Nov. 28.
Members of FUMC personally delivered baskets to every employee of Bowie ISD to show their heartfelt appreciation for everyone.
Baskets were prayed over and lovingly made during a two-month time span.
FUMC is hopeful that this teacher prayer ministry will be shared and promoted by other churches of Bowie.
Organizers say let’s unite together as one community, one vision, one mission, one family and one prayer.

Speed limit changes are being put in place on FM 103 North of Nocona. The 60-mph zone is being pushed North of Grayson Street.
As part of the transition, the 45-mph speed limit will be extended just North of the Texas New Mexico Power Office. Drivers see 50 mph signs up to Grayson Street where it becomes a 60-mph zone.
Portable message boards were placed on FM 103 on May 27 to advise motorists of the upcoming changes. The new signs will be unveiled and be enforceable starting June 3.
Citizens and officials with the City of Nocona requested the changes. They were approved by the Texas Transportation Commission in April.
Drivers should be prepared to watch and observe these new speed limits signs in Nocona. Drive safely in Montague County.
