Oh, what a story it could tell
Oh, what a story it could tell
COLUMBUS – In the early morning of Sept. 8, a tree shed a limb. That would not be significant if it were not for the fact that the tree that shed the limb was officially the largest in Texas. This 500-plus-year-old Live Oak tree sits on private property in the Columbus city limits on 1340 Walnut Street. It has been visited by tourists and passed by so many times by locals that no one realized the shedding of the limb may have cost the old tree its coveted title bestowed upon it by the Texas Forest Service in 2016. 11/29/2023 23:00

St. Nicholas Ministry touches lives and gives joy, peace, love, hope
The St. Nicholas Ministry has touched the lives of thousands of persons through- out its 36 years of service to the less fortunate and needy persons of the various communities in the Colorado, Fayette and Lavaca counties. In the Advent-Christmas season, we hear about and sing of joy, peace, love and hope. “I think of the St. Nicholas Ministry as helping to bring that to these families in a very real way,” says Pastor Herb Beyer of the Sri-County Cooperative Ministries, ELCA.
