MyROCC Embraces Carmel, Technology

article by Jonathan Haag, 'AtCarmel'



Over the past twenty years, River Oaks Community Church (ROCC) has provided an intimate setting for people from Carmel and beyond to gather as a community and worship. I recently had the opportunity to talk to Dominic Francese, Pastor of ROCC, about the mission and future of this particular body of believers.

Pastor Francese tells me that ROCC’s mission in relation to Carmel is to “provide followers of Jesus Christ an intimate setting for worshiping and serving God, in a way which a small church is especially well suited.” Part of this mission includes building a, “strong sense of small group community and strong friendships.”

Indy Christmas at Clay Terrace and Beyond

Mayor, Police Chief, Commit To Enforce ClayTerrace Speed Limits

Just an FYI to neighbors...

I received an email response from the Mayor's Office regarding the recent accident by our kids' bus-stop this week. [See previous post & photo.]

In the mayor's note, he commits to greater enforcement of the speed limit there on Clay Terrace Blvd.

And apparently they're 'on it' already. Just this morning an motorcycle-officer seemed to be writing a speeding ticket at that very corner.

[Thank you, Mayor Brainard.]

Police Warn Homeowners About Breakins

Accident at Dangerous Corner

photo by Neil Cox, IndyChristian

This was the scene last evening of a 2-car accident at the corner of Clay Terrace Blvd and Walter St. While no one apparently observed this accident, neighbors say it's very common for cars coming down the grade from Clay Terrace Mall to be speeding as they approach this intersection.

Notice where the white car landed? That's the exact place our kids wait for the school bus each day -- now before dawn breaks.

Young Pastor Starts Bible Study @ Clay Terrace Bank

[Article by Neil Cox, ClayTerrace Neighborhood]


Ron Steege -- a Facebook friend too !

What could a young (admittedly, enterprising) fast-food manager possibly know about the Bible? Or about loving the people in a neighborhood? Or about starting a church... in a neighborhood bank, no less?

Come see. You'll be surprised. I was.

Tuesday evenings... 7pm... @ Old National Bank, Clay Terrace.
