ST. ANDREW'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The Grove Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors held a Ribbon Cutting on Thursday, March 23, 2023, for Realtor Doug Londagin at his Keller Williams office, located at 102 E. 3^rd St. in Grove. Doug graduated from Colcord High School and lived with his family in the Siloam Springs area until 2003 when he and his wife of 35 years, Martha, decided to move to Grove, a decision that was made based on their appreciation of the area and the good school district. Shortly after, Doug became the owner of the Chevrolet dealership in Vinita and worked there for many years. Doug has been actively involved in the community, particularly as a coach in Jay and Broken Bow and being the President of the Grove Ridgerunner’s Touchdown Club. Though Doug enjoyed selling cars, he believed that his love for sales could be better utilized as a realtor: “You buy and trade-in a car every few years; buying a house is a much bigger commitment.” And so, after his son had graduated from Grove High School, Doug decided to chase a dream that he had since the 1990s: becoming a realtor. He acquired his Real Estate license in the summer of 2022 and is ready to be your reliable, hometown Keller-Williams agent.

The Grove Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors held a Ribbon Cutting on Thursday, March 23, 2023, for the Christian Medical Clinic, located inside First Baptist Church, 501 E. 13^th St. in Grove. The idea for the clinic came about when Dr. Rollin Bland returned from one of his many mission trips in January of 2001. His office manager asked when Dr. Bland would “…do something at home?”. With help from the Ministerial Alliance of Jay and Grove, many volunteer doctors and nurses and donations from all over, the clinic was born. Several community churches offered a space for the clinic to call home, but First Baptist Church of Grove was the perfect fit. Today, the clinic’s continued existence and success is thanks to the ongoing support of medical and staff volunteers, Integris Hospital and the community at large. The clinic’s services are based on mission, prayer and helping others. They provide medical, chiropractic and spiritual care for those in the community that are not able to acquire medical insurance coverage and are open on Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
