Muskogee native Starr Fisher recalled how her late uncle, Apostle Lathon Archie, served his community. He had the mind and the heart to give, she said. He was a servant in every capacity of the word.
Archie, founder and pastor of Faith Deliverance Christian Center, died in 2015. Archie established such programs as Royal Instructional School of Excellence, Precious Little Angels Childcare and Students Taking a New Direction (STAND).
Fisher, who now operates Manhattan Catering in Tulsa, said she wants to honor her uncle by hosting the Lathon Archie Memorial Holiday Give-A-Way 6 p.m. Christmas Eve at Archie s former church. The objective is to feed folks and give those kids toys, she said. If people are hungry and need help with groceries or things, we re also going to have bags for people who show up.
