The gospel choir Shades of Praise had their concert at JazzFest rained out, but they still want to give a concert. What better place than at FPCNO, where they have given some awesome Christmas concerts! 

So -- they are giving a FREE CONCERT this coming Saturday afternoon, May 16, at 2:00 p.m.! All are welcome! You won't want to miss this!

Yes, it's Transfiguration Sunday in the rest of the world, but in New Orleans it's The Sunday Before Mardi Gras. The session looked at all the folks in our congregation who are riding or marching in parades, are hemmed into their neighborhoods by parades, or just plain going to parades, and said, "No, not this week." See you on Ash Wednesday, February 18, from 9 to 10 a.m. or 5 to 6 p.m. for a brief service and the imposition of ashes. 

It's our Silver Anniversary, but we're partial to ORANGE.

Thank you to our corporate sponsors, Winn Dixie and Coca-Cola! See you at worship and afterward for fun and crawfish!

This weekend only! Worship time will be on SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. Why? Because the bad weather on Mardi Gras afternoon necessitated that the truck float parades that line up in front of the church on South Claiborne Avenue had to change their date to Sunday, March 9 at 11:00 a.m., which would make it exceedingly difficult to get to church. So we're taking a page from the playbook of our Catholic friends, who seem to enjoy their Saturday afternoon Mass, and have a Saturday afternoon service!
