A Chaplain's Reminder
Wow! The violence in our land continues to shock the conscience of all clear-thinking persons....attacks on individuals and even churches!
We may feel extremely limited in what we can do to turn the tide, but all who believe in God through Jesus Christ God's Son can PRAY!
Honestly, we are taught that nothing is more powerful
than prayer. So, we who love our Country and her laws and all first responders CAN PRAY.
Let's do that for the good of ALL, and for our Coastal Bend Peace Officers Association members.
Please continue to support one another, remembering we are ALL interdependent persons.
See you soon at our next quarterly meeting! -T. Wayne Price
In addition to being the Chaplain of the CBPOA, Pastor Price is also the Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Refugio.

It was officially announced that the first general membership meeting for 2026 will be hosted by the Nixon Police Department in January. The exact date and time have not been announced. Keep posted and we have more information for you by the start of January 2026.

What does it take to save a life of someone being trafficked? You'll never know until you are in that spot. One important thing you can do is add this number in to your "contacts" phone numbers:
1-888-373-7888.
You can also spread the word and have others put that phone number in their phones as well. That telephone number could save a life. Do it now!
