THE LORD WORKS in MYSTERIOUS WAYS by the Salvation Army Vol. 15, No. 85 Sunday, September 9, 2018 USPS 9400 / Cost .75 ¢ THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS By The Salvation Army TEXAS CITY (September 2018) – Supporters of The Salvation Army were surprised to learn re- cently that the Groundbreaking ceremony they had on their calendar for the new Moody Family Corps Community Center had been changed into a ribbon cutting. “Life threw us a curveball,” Chris Doyle, Campaign Chair, shared with the crowd on September 6 at the Mainland Church of Christ. “Right as we were about to file for our construction permits, Pastor Robert Goolsby came to us and asked if we would be interested in purchasing this facility verses building one right beside it.” “I was a bit taken aback because we had been working on this project for over four years and I wanted to see it come to life,” recalls Doyle. “Captains Patrick and Jennifer Jones came to see me. Jennifer was convinced it was a sign from the Lord, and after a while, I came to believe it, PICTURED(VISIBLE), L-R: DOREEN HUGHES, CHRIS DOYLE, PHIL ROBERTS, too. CAPTAINS PATRICK AND JENNIFER JONES, RUTH RENDON, GINA SPAGNOLA, STEVE “My number one priority has always been to be a good steward of donor money. So although PATERSON, LEONARD WOOLSEY, ALLAN MATTHEWS this has a lot to do with faith, it is also true that costs have increased significantly since we put our original estimates together several years ago. We were looking at taking on debt with new construction. We met with Pastor Goolsby and the elders and agreed on a price to purchase that is fair to both of us. This transaction will sustain the Mainland Church of Christ for the future. I don’t ever want to see a great church like this leave a community of mine, and I believe in my heart that this transaction will keep them here into the future. I want to thank them for bringing us the opportunity. I believe it’s an opportunity for them as well.” Captain Patrick Jones told the crowd that the new facility will be used to reach out to the youth of the community, building their character so they can grow up to be fantastic citizens. The new community center will offer afterschool and summer day camp activities. Renovation of the facility will begin immediately. The Salvation Army hopes to be ready to offer services by mid-2019. Representatives from the Texas City-LaMarque, Galveston and League City Chambers of Commerce were on hand for a joint ribbon cutting along with donors, elected officials, members of the Advisory Board and Women’s Auxiliary and a number of community partners. Hey Mikey’s provided ice cream for the celebrants. More than 60 people came out in the rain to mark the occasion. FRIENDS OF ROSENBERG CELEBRATES 78TH ANNIVERSARY Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, each year during the first weekend in October, the Friends of Rosenberg Library hosts it Annual Used Book Sale. For many Gulf Coast residents, the Book Sale is the highlight of the year, sort of a prelude to the Holiday season. The Friends group, celebrating its 78th anniversary this year, spends 52 weeks each year collecting books, records, DVDs, CDs, and other media treasures, then sorting, pricing, and storing them. Afterwards, in a frenzied flurry of activity the week before, members set up the book extravaganza on the second floor of Rosenberg Library, 2310 Sealy, Galveston. When the doors open to bibliophiles from all over, there is magic in the air. This year, the event is chaired by Helena Aucoin. The traditional Members Only Night kicks off the event on Thursday, October 4 from 5-7 pm. It provides members a chance to have the best picks of books in every genre. Those who are not members can join on the spot for a donation of $15 or more. On Friday, October 5, the sale runs from 12–6 pm. Books and materials in new, like-new, and excellent condition will be on sale in all genres, the most popular of which are history, science, children’s, cook books, art, religion, literature, popular fiction, how-to, poetry, and travel. The treasures section draws people who are looking for first editions, autographs, antiques, and one-of-a-kind items. Saturday, October 6, the sale continues from 10 am-4 pm with incredible bargains, some books available for only $1. This is a great opportunity to stock up on reading material for the entire year—and many customers do just that. Our books make wonderful gifts for friends, family, or yourself, and 100% of each purchase goes toward helping Rosenberg Library acquire new materials. In addition to books and media, the Friends sell souvenir ornaments featuring the Henry Rosenberg statue or the library building, itself. These Galveston icons make meaningful gifts for loved ones who have connections to the community. Book Sale patrons may pay for purchases using cash, credit cards, or Paypal. Mark your calendars for October 4-6, and whether you are a first-time shopper or a regular customer, a Galvestonian or a tourist, you are welcome to experience this extraordinary weekend at the library.
