Jesus' Last Words from the Cross In the seven weeks leading up to Easter Sunday (April 4), the worship services will focus on “Jesus’ Last Words from the Cross.” Taken from all four Gospel accounts of the crucifixion of Christ, these messages will examine the final statements of our Lord before His death. Through these studies we will gain a greater appreciation of the suffering of our Savior as well as the fullness of His sacrifice on our behalf.
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. |
Easter Celebration Planned A special schedule is planned for Easter Sunday, April 4. An Easter breakfast is planned for 8:30 a.m. (in place of Sunday school) with worship at the normal time of 10:00 a.m. Please plan on joining us for this celebration of our Savior's resurrection!

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
