Important information regarding the land line for the church office: As we are using our cell phones MORE & MORE we have noticed that the church phone rings LESS & LESS. So instead of continually paying for the extra phone lines that the church is no longer in need of, we will be doing away with three of the existing lines. You will still be able to call into the church office using the main line (985-748-5353), but this line will only connect to Melissa's desk. If you wish to speak to Rev. Karl or Rev. Kaitlin you will need reach out to them using their cell phones. If you do not have their cell phone #'s please contact them using the following email addresses:

Preaching Preview:
Prayer changes things. Prayer is powerful. Prayer heals, hopes, encourages, and celebrates. “The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.” All of this is so true. But do we believe it? Developing a strong prayer life can truly change your life. Even the forgiveness of our sins comes with prayer. I Thessalonians 5:17 says to “pray unceasingly.” Just imagine…if we could figure out how to do that…just imagine what our lives would be like?

Karl's Kommentary: “Miracle Sunday – Believe it!!”
You’ve got to believe in miracles after this past Sunday! At this writing, we’ve given over $183,000 towards our Bell Tower restoration! When it’s all said and done, anything over the cost of the restoration will go towards our mortgage on the Multi-Purpose Building. Blessings abound! And we give God all the Praise and the Glory!!
Many of us covered our Bell Tower project in prayer. I believe prayer along with the sincerity of our purpose resulted in the blessings we received. The Power of Prayer can achieve anything!!
Our Prayers were heard and brought about TEAMWORK! From the time our Trustees first discovered and discussed the problem, to the Finance Committee and Church Council deciding to move forward, to the Miracle Sunday committee that worked to make it happen, to our Choir and Praise Team helping make our Miracle Sunday very special, to the Food and Fellowship Team for providing a delicious lunch, to individuals working together to make it happen…all of this and more was made possible through teamwork, “God’s Team”! And that work resulted in great success!!
The Power of Prayer…its real, it works, and we all just experienced it firsthand. Thanks to all for being part of the TEAM, and for doing your part! “Ask, and it shall be given unto you…”
