It may have taken Carrollton Avenue Baptist Church over two years to return to their traditional location but they've wasted no time in focusing on reaching their community. After the morning service on May 25, pastor Brian Webber and his congregation invited the community to a crawfish boil there on the church grounds. Just over 300 from the Carrollton area came out to enjoy the food, receive donations of clothes, meet Brian and the members of Carrollton Ave. The Gospel was shared and six made professions of faith in Christ. After the event, the members gathered up the remaining food and served it to the homeless men and women living under the Claiborne Ave. underpass. In the process of serving this second meal, the members of Carrollton Ave. were able to find housing for five homeless individuals. What a wonderful picture; spending the morning worshiping together as one body and using the rest of the day to carry out the work of the church in the community and beyond.
