What's news this week in Crittenden County...

Mexico Baptist Church has never doubted Biblical promises that the Lord will provide for the needs of Jesus’ followers, but on Sunday the church’s extended family watched such a blessing unfold before their eyes. Every fall for six years now, the country church with an active congregation has hosted its Football Fellowship program. It’s a faith-based revival of sports, typically attracting around 400 attendees, and most of those are not members of the congregation.
