This year, Gethsemane Lutheran Church (2825 Paris Rd., Chalmette) is taking Ash Wednesday to the streets!  We are having ASHES TO GO, a drive thru (or walk up as the case may be) for people to receive ashes and communion on Ash Wednesday, March 5 from 11am to 6pm!  Come and receive ashes and communion! ALL are welcome!  For more information, please call 504-271-4254 or email gethsemaneinchalmette@gmail.com.

 

 

Enrollment for this summer is over 80% full, but there’s still time for young musicians to apply, and for you to nominate students. Lutheran Summer Music is the nation’s premier faith-based music academy for high school musicians. Students come together from around the country for a joyful summer of music-making through large ensembles (band, choir, orchestra), chamber music, private lessons, elective classes (conducting, composition, jazz, musical theatre, handbells, pipe organ) and use their musical gifts in performance, and in worship.

 

 

 

 

The Gulf Coast Synod, a community of 100 congregations, camp, and other organizations, seeks a part-time Disaster Ministry Coordinator, to cultivate relationships and lead preparedness among leaders, ministry sites, and neighbors in our Gulf Coast Synod, prior to disasters, and response following disasters. The hours are flexible, with fewer hours during times of preparation, and more hours following disasters. Experience with disaster response or VOAD preferred. For more information or to apply, send a resume to synod@gulfcoastsynod.org

 

 

It’s that time of year again! Clergy reports can be found HERE.
