You are cordially invited to the 100th Birthday Celebration of our Opus 635 (1916) Austin Organ.  The magnificent instrument has been in continual use for the past 100 years with interruptions only due to being moved to a new church location in 1938, and to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.  The Trompette en Chamade was added on the rear wall of the sanctuary at a later date.

The pumpkins are here! We unloaded all 2067 of them and are very grateful for all of the help from hard working Boy Scout Troop 185, Vamonos Nola, LaToya Cantrell, and members and friends of FPC, including some of the clients of the Program of Hope which this patch supports. We are all tired from working so hard and we remember those among us who don't have a comfortable bed or safe place to sleep tonight.

Special thanks to the donors and volunteers who helped install new lighting in the Fellowship Hall.  We loved the icicle lights that our dance groups put up for their Christmas parties and other celebrations, not to mention room simply needing more light.  We were inspired to do something similar with easy-to-replace-bulbs.  The new lights look awesome and the room is perfect for dancing, parties, and receptions.

The Program of Hope in progress this morning. It's a wonderful ministry and you can see how many are in need. Donations are accepted on our web site under the About tab, scroll down to Donate, and click through to PayPal.

Clothing, bus tokens, toiletries, and food items can be dropped off at the church office which is located at the back of the church building on S. Prieur St.

A group of our members and friends went to Baton Rouge Saturday to help gut a house that had been flooded. The sights and smells were far too familiar. The older couple who own the home are staying at University Presbyterian Church in Baton Rouge. This is a section of Baton Rouge called Sherwood Forest, not far from the Presbytery of South Louisiana office (which was also flooded, along with Faith Presbyterian Church next door).
