Theology 101

Sunday Mornings at 9:10 am

Tom and Lesley Paine are teaching “Faith Seeking Understanding,” borrowing the title from the text by Dan Migliore and a concept by St. Anselm. They are using Migliore’s text as a guide for the class. If interested, you can find it from Amazon.com or BN.com, but you don’t have to buy the text to enjoy the class. If the class is a success, and there is interest in it, we will offer some more advanced theology classes in the fall. Come, let us seek together.

Son Rise Service

Sundays - 8:30 am

Looking for some quiet time with God? Our Son Rise service may be for you. It’s a 30 minute service held every Sunday in our sanctuary. The service is centered around prayer, scripture, song and meditation. We also share communion at the Lord’s table each Sunday. All are welcome, so please join us.

Weekly Prayer Group

Wednesdays at 10:30 am

Our Prayer Group is open to all who desire to engage in prayer for individuals, our community, our state, our nation, and our world. We meet in the library each Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., except on the last Wednesday of the month when we meet in the sanctuary for a prayer service. All prayers offered in worship, submitted to the office, and presented through our members are uplifted and shared with those who gather.

Bridges Class

Wednesdays at 5:30 pm
at the Metairie Piccadilly on South I-10 Service Rd.
Led by the Reverend Tom Paine

The Pastor’s Bridges class gathers on Wednesday nights, at the Piccadilly on the South I-10 Service Road in Metairie for dinner. For those unfamiliar with this class, it focuses on our Scripture readings for the upcoming Sunday. We look at their setting, background, and message and discuss a way to “bridge” that point in time with our own. You don’t need to have read the readings in advance and you don’t need to eat to come and enjoy the discussion.
