About the Prelude today - In 2003 May Ball, Shanda Brashears, Peter Cho and the choir (including Murray!) and musicians of First Presbyterian Church New Orleans recorded a live concert of Christmas music in the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church. This album is still available from Amazon for $8.99. Use your smart phone and this QR code for more information.
The Men of the church will be congregating at the church next Thursday at 7pm for this month's Men's Night. The task is TBD but it will involve food, drinks, and fellowship as always.
ECOrecycling--an easy way to give to FPCNO! - The FUNdraising Committee of First Pres is starting a recycling fundraiser! There’s nothing to buy (isn't that awesome!). We are simply asking you to protect the environment by donating your used consumer electronics and unwanted, broken or mismatched jewelry. Your used item(s) may be tax deductible and will be recycled in accordance with EPA regulations. 100% of the proceeds will help fund First Pres. We will be collecting the following items: Cell Phones, Ink Jet Printer Cartridges, Laptops and Netbooks, iPads and Tablets, iPods, Digital Cameras, Metals (Gold, Silver and Platinum--not costume jewelry). So start cleaning out those drawers and closets!
