Texas Legends Steakhouse in Madisonville set 13 places at their new bar, a trend honoring the 13 American troops who lost their lives along with many Afghans during an attack at the Kabul airport last week. The two blasts came during an evacuation effort, which was completed Monday, ending the longest war in American history. PHOTO BY TEXAS LEGENDS STEAKHOUSE FACEBOOK

Madisonville First Baptist Church hosted its 13th annual Madisonville CISD District Luncheon Tuesday, Aug. 17. Walker’s Cafe prepared over 350 meals consisting of a club sandwich, chips, pickle, cookie and water. Walker’s cooks prepared these meals using the FBC’s kitchen. The meals were then placed in boxes and delivered to each campus by the FBC staff and students. A big thank you to all the workers who helped make this day run so smoothly. The FBC family will be praying for the teachers, administration, employees and students (2 Timothy 2:15). Without teachers, life would have no class! (Pictured: Walker’s Cooking Crew) COURTESY PHOTO
