With more than 25 churches within Bowie’s six-mile square radius, it would be difficult for churches to go unnoticed within the small community.
However, it is what those churches are doing outside of their walls that is having an impact on the citizens.
From feeding the hungry to inspiring confidence in young women, churches in Bowie are attempting to reach out and meet the needs of not only its members, but also the entire community.
Spearheading some of those community outreach events is Freedom Life Church, whose members attempts to conduct monthly events for Bowie in a time of hardship for many citizens. Pastor Joe Young says there are a lot of needs in our community right now and economically, it’s a tough time.
“People see the love of God when you demonstrate love and go out in the community and help them. As a church, we don’t focus on growing our numbers. We just want to demonstrate love and have people attend church where they’re comfortable, no matter what church that is,” explains Young.

Tawni Jones Ledbetter was arrested on July 10 by law officers in Hood County on a warrant for making a false statement to the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission.
Ledbetter was released from jail on $10,000 bond. While the former owner of The Rack lists Bowie as where she lives, she also remarried earlier this year to a man who resides in Granbury.
The TABC complaint could be handled as a misdemeanor according to the public information office, but additional details were unavailable as of presstime. The PIO indicated it depends on the specific type of case and he did not have the warrant information at the time of the call.

CORRECTION – In the Wednesday Bowie News this article in the print edition stated Ledbetter was the owner of The Rack, this is incorrect. She is no longer owner of this business. We apologize for this error.
