Hi again folks,<br>
<br>
I made a chance discovery the other day that really restored my faith
in people. I ran into a friend in the Public Library and we walked out
together and noticed a pile of debris in the yard of the old church
across the street. (It is actually one of the first, if not <u>the</u>
first black churches in Oklahoma, dating back to 1903.) My friend,
Suzee, mentioned having gone in there before to see what it was like
and was disturbed that vandals had taken over and what they hadn't
torn up they had spray painted filth and graffiti on. We walked over
to see what condition it was in now, and were very surprised to see all
the pews sitting upright and a lot of rubbish cleared away. We then
discovered a young man in the back working away toward restoring this
historical building with intentions of eventually holding church
services in it again, as the Mt. Olive Non-Denominational Church. His
name is Mark Dominguez and he has undertaken quite a job all on his
own with just the help of his wife, Mary, and a friend. If anyone has
spare time, energy or resources that could be utilized in this effort,
I'm sure he would be grateful for the help. If you're interested in
helping, just go by there and talk with this young couple. If nothing
else, you'll make some new friends.<br>
