Peace Officers’ Angels Foundation (POAF) is proud to partner with Cotton Patch to support our brave men and women behind the badge. Officers from local departments will be trading their badges for an apron to serve you! Detective Dustin Paulsen with Erath County Sheriff’s Office is one of Stephenville’s local officers who was critically injured in the line of duty. He will be putting on an apron as well to say hello and thank you to his community!
Bring your appetite and your generous support for law enforcement in a salute to first responders in Stephenville and across Texas on June 4 from 11 am until 3 pm at Cotton Patch, located at 2860 W. Washington St. in Stephenville.
POAF supports peace officers (city, state, and county) who suffer a critical, life-changing on-duty injury. A portion of the proceeds will go to scholarships for children of injured officers whom POAF has assisted.
Officers serve us every day! Join us, and let them serve you at your table! It’s a great way to get to know them and to support law enforcement.
One cause unites us all. Thank you for your support!

Today is the last day to get out to the Main Street Festival here in Grapevine. This year, a new booth popped up that focuses on the Ukrainian relief efforts. Enjoy the slideshow below and if you’re heading out to the Fest today, make sure to stop by! They are right inside the entrance next to the railroad tracks.
Hi Folks – I can’t tell you how excited I am about the Peace Together Walk happening Saturday, November 6th in Colleyville. So many people will be coming out and showing our community that we don’t have to give in to the fear, distrust, and hatred that threatens our society.
The value of an event like our Walk comes from the opportunity to spend time with people that have different backgrounds and perspectives than ourselves, people that may look different than us, who perhaps pray in a different way than we do, or who may simply possess a different belief system in some non-threatening ways. I’m sure there are many people in your life, perhaps a friend or family member, who has a perspective that would be valuable to share with others. Would you please bring them along with you to the Walk? Whether or not they or you have formally registered for the Walk will not matter—all are welcome. Just be at the parking lot of Good Shepherd Catholic Community, 1000 Tinker Road in Colleyville (overflow parking available at First United Methodist Church Colleyville) at 12:30 PM and we will transport you to the Opening Ceremonies at the Colleyville Masjid.
Please also review the list of donated food items below that we will be collecting at the Walk on behalf of the GRACE food pantry, to benefit local families who need support this holiday season.
My thanks to each of you, and those you reach out to and bring to YOUR Walk, for taking the time to share your story with others. Standing together we can make a difference. Together we can continue to rise up when hatred, bigotry, discrimination, and intolerance try to push us down. Love, friendship, and understanding will make us the winners.
Thank you so much for your support and all the love you’ve shown Peace Together already! See you Saturday!

Closing Ceremonies: 4:30 PM @ Congregation Beth Israel
Peace Together, a Texas Nonprofit Corporation, whose mission is to build relationships between neighbors, no matter their differences, invites individuals and organizations to sign up for their annual Peace Walk to be held Saturday, November 6, 2021, in Colleyville, TX. The Peace Walk will continue the focus upon and promotion of the love and caring of our neighbors to the exclusion of hatred, bigotry, discrimination, and intolerance.
Registration for the event is free. All participants will receive water and snacks at the beginning of the walk. Peace Together T-shirts will be available for purchase.
The event will begin with free parking available at both Good Shepherd Catholic Community, 1000 Tinker Road, Colleyville, TX, and First United Methodist Church of Colleyville, 1000 Church Street, Colleyville at 12:30 PM. and other overflow facilities. Participants will be transported to the Colleyville Masjid for Opening Ceremonies beginning at 2:00 PM followed by the Walk, which will encompass approximately three miles to Congregation Beth Israel (“CBI”), also in Colleyville.
The route is stroller and wheelchair friendly. Food vendors and music will be available at CBI where closing ceremonies will take place at approximately 4:30 PM.
Various locations will be set out on the Walk route for rest stops and additional water. Transportation will also be available to take participants to CBI if they decide not to walk the full route or from the Masjid for those who prefer to be bussed to CBI where they can share stories with new “neighbors.”
Approximately 400 participated in each of the last two walks with the help of many participating organizations and the phenomenal help of the City of Colleyville. After postponement due to COVID in 2020, a much larger number is hoped for this year.

A core group of individuals began meeting in Colleyville, not long after the shocking and tragic events in Charlottesville, VA in August of 2017. Participants, organizations, and institutions supporting Peace Together continue to show that hatred, bigotry, discrimination, and intolerance should and can be replaced by the development of strong relationships among individuals, despite their different backgrounds, appearances, and beliefs.
