“In 1933 the Texas Christian Church near Maroa needed a minister,” a local paper reported in 1938. “The church was in bad shape. Sixteen- year-old Mr. Garriott took the charge and in three years the congregation was doubled.” Christopher Troy Garriott (above) was born and raised in Harristown, lived for a time in Maroa, and began preaching at Texas Christian Church while still attending high school. Years after his ministry at Texas Christian Church, Chris wrote a novel entitled The Cypriot, about the New Testament character Barnabas. After his death in 2003, his son Max discovered the manuscript and had it published this year. Recently Max and his brother Dan visited Texas Christian Church and left several copies of the book behind. The book can be ordered at http://barnabasthecypriot.com

Potluck for Garath Mills For the third time in recent years, Garath Mills will be deployed with the U. S. Army, this time in the nation of Kuwait. Garath, who carries the rank of E6 (staff sergeant), serves both as crew chief, mechanic and door-gunner for Black Hawk helicopters. He works full-time for the Army at the Decatur Airport, but this deployment will be with the B Company 106th Aviation from the Chicago area. He deploys May 30 to Fort Hood for about a month before going to Kuwait. Before he ships off to the Middle East for about a year, Texas Christian Church will honor Garath and his family with a potluck dinner on Sunday, May 20, immediately after the worship service. Bring a dish to share and come support one of our own who knows the meaning of service and sacrifice for one’s country.
Fellowship Hall Work Days May 19 and 26 are being designated as work days for the fellowship hall as we look to finish painting the doors, woodwork, and walls. Work will begin at 9 a.m. each Saturday.
