Regular readers of the Dalhart Texan know that a staple of our Friday edition over the past few years has been the “Faith” page. The Faith page included a directory of churches in the area and the times of their services, a “Verse of the Week,” and a faith column, written either by a local pastor or, at times, by regional writer Dr. Billy Holland. There were also a few ads at the bottom of the page by businesses that had chosen years ago to sponsor that particular page each week.
