Sad news, Mardi Gras is over. 

Good news, yes, Ash Wednesday is open to all!
 
Come to church on Ash Wednesday between 9 and 10 in the morning or 5 and 6 in the afternoon to hear, yes, a word of hope, and to receive ashes.  We'll have coffee in the morning and bottled water morning and afternoon.
 
This Lent we'll be following the theme "The Growing Season." Join us on Sundays at 9:45 for adult Bible study and at 11:00 for worship!

Worship in Sanctuary July 9, 2023

Great news! The air conditioning in the sanctuary is working again! We will have worship this Sunday, July 9, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. We will celebrate the Lord's Supper during the service. We'll be installing new officers on the session, thanking an officer whose term is ending, and having cake and ice cream (it's National Ice Cream Month!) after the service. Join us! All are welcome!

Worship Service CANCELED for July 2, 2023

In the middle of a heat emergency in the City of New Orleans, the sanctuary air conditioning has gone out. Never fear, it is fixable! But in the meantime, the temperature in the sanctuary hovers between 88 and 90 degrees.

As a result, the session has voted to cancel the worship service on Sunday, July 2. We plan to reopen on Sunday, July 9 for worship and communion at 11:00 a.m. 

The Program of Hope is still scheduled to take place on Wednesday, July 5 at 9:00 a.m. in the sanctuary to provide services to the community.

Join ua on Ash Wednesday, February 22, to receive ashes in the sanctuary. Stay afterward for light refreshments. All are welcome!

The Pumpkins Are Coming!

Next Saturday, we'll be kicking off our 23rd year of the Pumpkin Patch with Unloading Day! Over 1,000 pumpkins will be arriving from Farmington, New Mexico on a 18 wheeler. If you're looking to get a little dirty and take part in a fun activity on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, volunteers are welcome! There will be food and drinks. Also, there's a strong chance there will be a TV out there for the LSU vs Tennessee game.
