After missing so many events last year due to the pandemic, I believe that we've had the best weather for taking in some of Abilene's Fall Festivals this year.

A Texas church is being accused of refusing the final wish of a 93-year-old member because she didn't attend church or pay tithes the last two years of her life.

Abilene is well known for having several churches, so it's no surprise that another church has opened in the Key City.  However, this new church has a big twist as Southern Hills Church of Christ will now be holding 'Bar Church' services.

The Texans, a Christian singing group is scheduled to appear at the Elmwood Baptist Church on the corner of South 14th and Barrow Street. The group will perform on Sunday, December 16th at 6 PM. This will be a family event as this is a free Christian Christmas Concert. The Texans began their musical career at Dallas Christian College in 1971.

It's that time of year, when civic clubs and church organization put on their Arts and Crafts fairs, Holiday Bazaars, Bake Sales and various Holiday shopping extravaganzas. The Women of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church will be hosting their annual 'Christmas Bazaar' on Saturday, December 1st and Sunday, December 2nd on the church property.

The Church of Heavenly Rest in Abilene and the Abilene Philharmonic present "The Nocturne Project" a concert series which began last year. The series of chamber concerts will feature the tremendous talent found on the orchestras stage without the need for a conductor. The Nocturne Project forces the musicians to work together and to listen more intently all the while challenging them to

The Wylie Christian Church is a church that I've often referred to, as the little church on the hill. So when I was asked by Jon and Don a couple of church elders, to help get the word out, I jumped at the chance. Wylie Christian Church is in dire need of a "real playground" for the children, so the church is hosting a party of with lots of live bands this Saturday, September 29th from 2

Trinity Baptist Church youth Pastor Joseph Plagge says they're planning one last bash before school starts. The event is will take place at Trinity Baptist Church located at 871 Woodlawn Drive.

The New Hope Church on South Clack, will be showing the movie 'Courageous' this Father's Day Sunday. Families are invited to attend and everyone is welcomed. New Hope Church is planning an after movie brisket barbeque for all who attend. Check out all the details.

I'm a little on the fence on the question of dressing up for church. I was raised that you wore a dress (girls) and slacks (boys), there was no wearing of shorts unless they were "dressy". We had our "Church Clothes/Sunday Best" and they weren't worn to play in, they were for church. It seems though these days the rules are much more relaxed and pretty much as long as you sho

I heard in church last Sunday that NFL quarterback Tim Tebows mom was coming to Abilene, and that she would be the featured speaker during the 'Compassion In Action' regional women’s conference on Saturday, April 28, at Beltway Bark Baptist Church. Pam Tebow has a very moving story to share and an even stronger commitment to her faith.
