The First Baptist Church of New Boston will present a very special Palm Sunday play entitled "Through the Torn Curtain" this Sunday morning, starting at 11 a.m.

Through the Torn Curtain is a musical presentation of the Gospel that will be enjoyed by all.

Over two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ came to earth. He had one purpose, the eternal redemption of man. When Jesus died a shameful death on a cross and offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, the great veil that shields the entrance into the Holy of Holies was torn in two, from the top to the bottom. Now everything changes. No longer will we need an earthly priest to approach the throne in our stead. There is an answer for sin. That answer is Jesus Christ!

After being able to sit in with the Central Records and Communications center in Texarkana, I started wondering what things were like for the officers being sent out to the emergency calls. Well thanks to the Bowie County Sheriff’s Office, I had the opportunity to ride along with one of our very own BCSO deputies, Michelle Carrier, and let me tell you it was quite the eye opening experience. Thankfully there were no car chases, robberies, or shootings, but I did witness a drug arrest where a K-9 unit had to be called in to locate the drugs on an individual that refused a consent to search. As an outsider stepping into a shift, even what seem like the most mundane traffic stops can be interesting.
