Before Pictures: The images below were taken in late September 2005 after the authorities finally allowed us to access the building. It had soaked in several feet of water for almost three weeks. You can still see water standing in the hallway on the 29th of September.
Main Hallway. Kitchen on the left, offices on the right, and classrooms all the way down. This was the first time we were able to get into the building. |
In December, with the help of men from Village Church of Christ in Arkansas, we framed in new kitchen walls adding 3 feet to the kitchen. That's a new walk-in pantry on the left and a small office for KidCity/children's ministry on the right.
View of the Kitchen in November. The appliances look kind of lonely sitting in there all alone.
Same hallway as you see on the left. Window units cool the classrooms temporarily. It was kind of hot this summer. |

community, Carrollton started the reconstruction process of our facilities to meet the growing ministry needs and opportunities in the MidCity area of New Orleans. Like many inner-city churches, our annual budgets over the years were always tight and when we had to choose between operations and compassion, we deferred spending on our building and helped the folks around us. Flood insurance was one of many items that fell by the wayside to bring ends closer to meeting each year.
