Palm Sunday - April 14, 11 am
There will be a palm procession by the youth and a performance by the Children's Choir. Worship Service and Communion will be led by Rev. Kathy Crighton.
Maundy Thursday - April 18, 6 pm
A service of communion to end with the Passion scriptures including extinguishing of candles in a traditional Tenebrae manner. Service will be led by Rev. Lynn Hyder and Session Members. Dinner will be served.
Our lovely Amanda Wadsworth has graciously agreed to work with the young people for the next four Sundays, getting them ready to sing for either Palm Sunday or Easter Sunday. Rehearsals will be done during the sermon time, so they will be in church for the Children’s Moment, then they will leave and go upstairs after the choir anthem.
Amanda is so gifted with children, and such a wonderful musician, I know it will be a great opportunity for the church youth to have some music time, and will be a super addition to the worship service whenever they sing.
On Sunday, March 3, 2019, we will be having a Mardi Gras Prayer Breakfast Service at 9:30 am in the Sanctuary. There will be no regular 11 am Sunday Service this week. Have a safe and fun Mardi Gras!
Today we honored Rev. Faith McClellan who has been worshipping with us for the past couple of years. She has accepted a call to become the pastor at Northern Light United Church in Juneau, Alaska. We will miss her and wish her the best.
We were Honored to welcome Dr. William Barber and Louisiana Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival for their Louisiana Mass Meeting on January 28.
The sanctuary was packed, standing room only, and it was a remarkable event to experience.

Join us this Sunday for a special joint service of First Presbyterian and our friends in Christ, the Metropolitan Community Church of New Orleans. This LGBT-affirmative congregation is led by Pastor Alisan Rowland, and is a part of a congregationally-led denomination founded in 1968 to proclaim God's love to those who had previously been denied a place in Christ's church, namely the LGBT community.
Confirmation is an important step in a young person's journey of faith. It is a time for them to more fully understand faith and their relationship with God and to consider becoming adult members in the church. One of the most important decisions a young person can make in their life is to commit themselves to Christ and to take up membership in His church through confirmation of the Baptismal vows that have been made.
