Cross Country Cowboy Church Serves Dinner Bell
Members of Cross Country Cowboy Church served Dinner Bell on Wednesday December, 18th, 2019.
This was the final Dinner Bell meal for 2019. The next Dinner Bell Community meal will be January 8th, 2020.
The mission of the Dinner Bell is to end hunger in Hopkins County. Fresh, hot, nutritious meals are prepared by volunteers each Wednesday and served to our guests at the First United Methodist Church. Through the generous support of church and community members and corporate sponsors we have been able to serve over 20,000 meals to those in need since opening our kitchen in 2012.
If you or your business would like to sponsor a Dinner Bell meal, give them a call at 903.885.2185

Tira News For The Week Of Nov. 12, 2019
By Jan Vaughn
The Cross Spur Cowboy Church youth group collected canned goods for the Tira Food Pantry. Sherry Smiddy reported that Ruth Ann Crowson donated canned goods, also.
Joyce Dodd shared, “We got a food donation from our angels and a money donation from Martha Payton and her brother Von Honzel.” She adds, “I, also, got a very nice donation of canned pork. We have a lot of good people around with a giving heart.”
We want to express our sincere appreciation to all of the groups and individuals who help keep the pantry going.
We appreciate all the expressions of sympathy in the tragic loss of our nephew, Josh Vaughn. His funeral was held on Wednesday, Nov. 13. Please continue to pray for his family.
Yvonne reports, “The Weir, Campbell and Esterhuyse families met at El Phoenix Saturday night to celebrate Dacy’s birthday. Dustin, Natalie, Maria and Everly spent the night with us.” They had family pictures taken.
Chip and I took a fall road trip along the Talimena drive in Oklahoma on Friday. The colors were beautiful. We came down through Broken Bow and visited with Chip’s brother and sister-in law, Jim and Sandra Vaughn, and their grandson, Thomas.
I always need and appreciate input from my friends to help keep me informed of news in our community. If you have any news pertaining to Tira residents, past or present, please contact me, Jan Vaughn, at 903-438-6688 or [email protected].
