Some Things Change, Some Remain the Same A congregational meeting was held on Sunday, December 6, 2009. Two new deacons, Garath Mills and Jose Ornelas, joined present elders Bob Reed and Orie Shaw, and will serve on the Advisory Board. Because of the ongoing expenses of construction, and anticipating additional expenses to repair the foundation of the existing church building, it was decided to leave all financial commitments, including missions giving and minister's salary, at the 2009 levels for 2010.
A Step Back in Time
“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
