Tom Mitchell:
An effort is being made to reinstitute the former Longview Interfaith Council in order to give all faith traditions “a seat at the table” – rather than simply the large mainline Protestant churches.
A second organizational meeting will be held Sunday, August 26th at 4:00.
For information contact Marolen Mitchell at 903-240-5838.

Next time you’re at the grocery store, pick up an extra can of tuna, jar of peanut butter, bag of rice, can of chili, or any other non-perishable food item and bring it with you to the Fellowship on Sunday, put it in the food basket in the lobby, and I will take it to Longview Community Ministries to help feed the poor and hungry of our community.
