Hollygrove Church Plant Big News!! Park Plaza Church of Christ in Tulsa, Oklahoma has agreed to help plant the a church in Hollygrove by covering Charles Marsalis' salary. Charles is one of the ministers here at Carrollton and will be heading up the Hollygrove effort. God is putting the pieces together better than we can dream. Smaller, less fun news Our grand opening date is being pushed back into late September as we haven't had the number of skilled volunteers we expected this summer. Now we just need to get the building finished. Could your missions committee help with a one time donation?
Volunteers from MidWest City Oklahoma hang the 1st sheet of wallboard on July 29th in Hollygrove's auditorium!!
The Marsalis family joined with our Oklahoma brothers and sisters hanging sheetrock.. It was rock'n in Hollygrove last week.
Progress Report We're slowly moving along with the help of volunteers from Indiana to Virginia to Florida and west to Oklahoma. We are insulated and beginning to hang sheetrock. Can you MUD AND BED (or tape and float depending on where you call home)? As of Aug 8th, we have no volunteers scheduled to come down during August or September. We still need some skilled (esp. carpenters) crews of 5-10 folks at a time to help us rebuild floors and walls this summer. Take 4 or 5 days off and come eat some shrimp while you make a difference in the lives of the people in our community. Click Here for more details on funding, a more thorough update, some pictures, and material needs for the next step. With only 70 members of our own, this is a big undertaking for us and we could use some assistance. If you would like to help financially or constructionally (I know, this isn't a word) with this ministry, contact us at: Church Office If you are still wondering why we are risking everything to plant a church in Hollygrove, CLICK HERE. |
Carrollton's Latest Doings The three year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina will be on us by the end of the month. We've come a long way but we still have an enormous task ahead of us with diminishing resources, fewer volunteers, and serious fatigue. Except for our auditorium (you can see it in the picture under "Drama Camp" below) the rest of our building is still gutted back to the studs. But, last week our first air conditioning unit in the back was finally being installed! Almost three years after we were flooded the first piece of our recovery is falling into place.
This is our future fellowship area here at Carrollton. Those are used ceiling tiles stacked against the wall that were donated. You can find some additional pictures and a July 2008 update HERE. Summer Drama Camp this year was awesome! We retold the story of David's faith as he faced Goliath (those are David's sheep on the right)
Two weeks of God, faith, hope, and love were mixed with a bit of blood, a few tears, lots of sweat, and tons of fun. Jesus died for such as these. Watch and see. Ready for More? Do you have a heart for service but need some new challenges? Consider moving to New Orleans, finding a job in your field, and helping us rebuild Carrollton and plant new outposts in God's Kingdom. We need passionate Christians of all ages and professions to prayerfully consider the possibility that this is where God is calling them to live and serve. New Orleans has lots of jobs and incredible ministry opportunities. Maybe you're graduating or retiring. You have to live somewhere. Pray about coming here. We're starting the conversation with you but God does the calling. Can you hear the call? New Orleans may be where you need to be. Want to know more about "vocational ministry?" If you have a Facebook account you can click here. And, we have lots more info about jobs, vocational ministry, and New Orleans here. |
