First Baptist Church of Bowie to unveil historical marker
Members of the First Baptist Church of Bowie will have a ceremony at noon on Dec. 18 to dedicate the official Texas Historical Marker recently awarded to the church.
The Texas Historical Commission designated the historic FBC as a Historical Texas Church.
The marker dedication was delayed until the building project was completed which included the display area for the marker.
Interestingly, the church was organized on Dec. 24, 1872. Scheduling the dedication ceremony for noon on Dec. 18 adds a special note of excitement to the 134th anniversary observation for this church family.
All are invited and welcomed to attend the program at 307 Lindsay.
The dedication program will be under the direction of the Montague County Historical Commission.
Featured speakers will include MCHC Chairwoman Margaret Woodyard, FBC leaders Sean Morgan, chairman of Deacons and Pastor Mike Henson, and member-historian Barbara Winingham, Lindsay family descendant.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
