Youth Gathering Pool Party - Saturday, August 8 from 1-4, located at 754 Florida Blvd, New Orleans 70124 - My name is Tracy Rene Helms-Capasso and I am from First Presbyterian Church in New Orleans. "l have a dream" of forming a greater New Orleans youth fellowship with you. I am excited about doing this because I know my youth group involvement was very helpful to me as a teenager. I have a date and time for a first gathering and hope you will help me spread the word to as many youth and their parents as you can.
“Bookoo Rueda” Cuban Salsa – Will return Sunday, August 8. They meet every Sunday of the month from 6pm – 10pm in the Fellowship Hall. Come and join them for some fun salsa dancing. Admission is free.
SQUARE DANCING – Will return Monday, August 10. They will meet for instructions and live music every 2nd Monday of the month at 7:30pm in the Fellowship Hall. Admission is $5.00 and enjoy some red beans and rice for $2.00 and square dance your heart away.
Katrina Remembrance weekend - party Saturday, August 29 and worship service Sunday, August 30. The party on Saturday August 29 will be at 7pm and take place at Dee and Randy Boling's house at 6522 Argonne Blvd. This once annual event, hosted in the years immediately following Katrina, will provide a safe space for both tears and laughter. Join us for shared commemorative fellowship as we recognize the 10th Anniversary of Katrina and the Levee Failures. All are welcome! This event is open to all whether you lived here before Katrina or not; whether you flooded or not, or whether you mourn what we've lost, or celebrate what we've gained. The event will focus on the resilience of First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans and its members. By being together, we join our individual strengths to form an unbreakable bond that will lift us up in spirit and in love. Worship on Sunday, August 30 will have moved from Lament for what was, to a celebration of what is becoming…and a few fun surprises are in store.
