The trio marveled at the steady stream of cars still coming in early Saturday evening, hours after the Smokin’ Angels BBQ Ministry opened its doors at Saint Mark’s Lutheran Church in Adkins. Locked inside a small shed behind the line for barbecue, a handful of people counted the donations and money from serving meals. Plates were priced at $10, but Ritch said dozens of people came through the line and paid more for to-go orders. “There was one guy who came through the line and ordered four plates, and he gave us $400,” Ritch said, grinning. ——This story has been altered to correct the name of the Smokin’ Angels BBQ Ministry, which had been erroneously referred to in one instance as the Smokin’ Angles BBQ Ministry.
