What a wonderful serivce we had today!
What a blessing to have our church family grow today with a new baptism and new member! We celebrate this milestore together with Lynn and Wayne and look forward to many more.
This was Pastor Kim's first baptism with FPC! We celebrated with music from the bell choir, performing "Jesus Loves Me," and “Thy Holy Wings" sung by the choir. We sang old and new hymns, “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing,” "I Was There to Hear Your Borning Cry” and “Lord, I Want to Be a Christian."
"If ever there were a time for people to wake up and see that we are citizens of a whole city and state and nation, and more than that, citizens of God’s whole big world, isn't it now?
If ever there were a time for people to acknowledge that being members of a particular racial group DOES shape our experience of God and other people - AND that we are, ALL OF US, part of the whole human race under God, isn't this the time?
Please join us on Sunday, September 3 for the commissioning of Rev. Kimberly Rodrigue, pictured here after preaching her first Sunday service with us.
The afternoon commissioning service will be led by Rev. Jan Edmiston, co-moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) who will be traveling to New Orleans from Chicago, IL, for this occasion. Also in attendance will be Trice Gibbons, prevously of Metairie Ridge Presbyterian, currently a member at Second Presbyterian Church in Nashville, TN.
The youth of the church will hold a public showing of the film The Shack (PG-13) on August 12, 2017. The event will be held in the Fellowship Hall (second flood, to the right) at 5:00pm, with a suggested donation of $3 per person.
Childcare for children 12 and under will also be provided for $2 per child.

Pastor Kim's Coffee Hours, now extended to a Happier Hour!
UPDATE!!!!
New Location for today: Oak Wine Bar who also serves beer, and cocktails ranging from Bud Light to fancy drinks such as the Pink Ponchatoula , small plates, (chocolate cake!), and the best thing of all great conversation with Pastor Kim.
New weekly off-site coffee shop office hours: Tuesdays from 7am to 9am and Thursdays from 9am to 11am, for conversation on anything from personal matters to church concerns to world peace – or anything else.
Sometimes people are more comfortable talking with a pastor outside of the walls of a church. This is your time to drop by or to bring a friend to visit. You don't have to have a particular need to stop by, but it is fine if you do.
Yesterday we got this terrific photo update from our participants going to
Congratulations to De'antra and Anthony! It was an extra special occasion FPC because the mother of the bride was our long time office manager and church family member Cheryl Roberts.

Best Wishes to the happy couple for many happy years together.
