Four Corners Food Pantry dedication held, now open
The Four Corners
Outreach Alliance, a new
faith based non-profit alliance
of local churches, has been
working to open a food
pantry for all in need in the
four corner county area of
Grayson, Fannin, Collin and
Hunt counties. Our mission is
to provide free food and other
services for children, elderly,
and families in crisis. The
food pantry is located near the
intersection of Hwy. 121 and
Hwy. 160 (North) in the old
fellowship hall of Crossroads
Presbyterian Church, close to
where the four counties meet.
The Dedication of the
Four Corners Food Pantry
was held on Sunday, Sept. 9
at 5:00 p.m., with prayers and
then attendees toured the new
pantry.
Monday Sept. 10 was the
first day to distribute food to
clients.
The Food Pantry hours
will be Monday 9 a.m. to 11
a.m., and on the 3rd Saturday
of each month from 10 a.m.
to 12 noon. We plan to have
emergency crisis food available
in a client choice selection at
the pantry. This store like
atmosphere will allow families
to choose their own food
from the shelves, and will be
weighed at checkout. Each
person in the family will be
entitled to a certain number
of lbs. of food per month.
For example, if its 15 lbs.
per person- a family of four
receives 60 lbs. of food per
month.
How can the public help?
By supporting the pantry
through food donations,
volunteering your time, or
money donations.
The Four Corner Alliance
of churches currently includes
(Bailey Baptist Church,
Crossroads Presbyterian
Church, First United Methodist
of Trenton, First United
Methodist of Blue Ridge, West
Shady Grove Baptist Church,
and First United Methodist
Church of Anna.) We invite
other area churches to join us
in this ministry! To help aid us
in this Four Comers Outreach
Alliance has partnered with the
27-year-old Allen Community
Outreach (ACO), which has
already donated food to the
pantry to help us get started
along with lots of helpful
information.
"In doing some research
by contacting some of the
Independent School Districts
in the Four Corners Area of
Collin, Grayson, Fannin, and
Hunt counties, we were able
to find evidence of this type of
facility being needed." said a
volunteer for the pantry.
"We found the following
information affecting families
in our own church areas. We
charted the data given to us
on the percentage of students
receiving free and discounted
meals within individual
schools districts after checking
with eleven area ISD’s; Anna
ISD, Blue Ridge ISD, Bonham
ISD, Celeste ISD, Dodd
City ISD, Farmersville ISD,
Leonard ISD, Tom Bean ISD,
Trenton ISD, Whitewright
ISD and Wolfe City ISD. The
school district data showed all
of the schools have between
40% to 60% of the students
using assistance on their
children's meals." the volunteer
continued.

Why Biblical Counseling?
(Part 1-History)
The history of Biblical
Counseling (BC) goes back
over four thousand years. The
first book, historically, of the
written Bible was Job. He had
three counselors (plus a wife).
The Pentateuch (Gen.-Deut.)
was written next explaining
the manner of creation and
the nature of mankind, giving
us insight into why we have so
many problems. The Wisdom
literature and Historical books
which followed illustrate the
outworking of our nature and
God's program for dealing with
it. Indeed the whole of the Bible
is a narrative, counseling us
about who we are, who God
is, why the world runs as it
does and God's solution to our
problem.
The command for
everyone to counsel is given
in Rom. 14:15; Heb. 13:13;
1Thes. 13:11; Gal. 6:1-2; etc.
The Church Fathers spoke to
issues of personal problems.
The Reformers and Puritans
wrote volumes on caring for the
souls of God's people and were
experts in BC.
In the mid-1800's with
the rise of Darwin, Freud and
textural criticism of the Bible,
seminaries stopped teaching
soul care and pastors gave up
the responsibility for dealing
with peoples' problems. Secular
psychology stepped into the void
and argued that these personal
struggles were medical issues
and no territory for the church.
The Church surrendered the
duty.
In the 1960's God moved
certain men to rediscover the
Church's responsibility for
soul care and its roots in the
Scripture and BC began to grow
and prosper again. In the last 50
years BC has developed a depth
and breadth of understanding of
human nature and an application
of that understanding to personal
and community problems that
honors the sufficiency of God's
word. 2 Tim. 3:16-17

Assumptions of secular and
