Welcome to First Presbyterian Church in New Orleans!
We are a church with a rich history. Feel free to browse our website and discover more about us. First Presbyterian is an open and affirming congregation that welcomes and encourages all to join us in worship. We are affiliated with the PC(USA).
We are a More Light Congregation and a member of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians. We welcome all people, all races, and all sexual orientations.
Due to the threat of inclement weather, the Maundy Thursday service scheduled for tonight at 6pm is cancelled.
Palm Sunday was a beautiful sunny day- the children enthusiastically waved palms, Tracy Rene gave an inspired children's sermon- don't hold on to your ideas too tightly- experience God with open hands and open minds- then the children, led by Amanda on piano and accompanied by May and Mary Frances on the bells.
Rev. Kathy gave a wonderful sermon titled, “And Now, The Big Time” telling of Jesus going into Jerusalem with a fun analogy including Dr Pepper and New York City. You might have had to be there, but it was terrific, unexpected, with a surprise ending!
Come join us for our observance of Holy Week.
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.
