Faith Presbyterian Church

We want to create a slide show sharing memories of Faith, as well as the Covenant and Sherwood congregations that merged to form Faith. Please bring any pictures of videos you may have to the church office of e-mail them to chur7393@bellsouth.net, as soon as possible. If you are unable to attend, but would like to send a greeting to be shared, please mail it to 12855 Old Hammond Hwy., Baton Rouge, LA, 70816, or e-mail to chur7393@bellsouth.net.          RSVP Regrets Only!

The scripture for this Sunday, March 13, is Matthew 6:1-13.  This is the first in a series of Lenten messages on the Lord’s Prayer.

Please join us at Faith Presbyterian Church on December 24th at 4:00 p.m. for a new kind of Christmas Eve Worship Service.

This Christmas Before Santa Service will be family focused with lots of great Christmas Carols and singing.  We look forward to sharing the Joy of Christmas with our friends and local community!

Please make sure to save the date for this new, informal worship service and bring your entire family!

This Sunday, Dec 14, the choir and children will present a special Christmas program in worship. There will be special music and a pageant.

After worship, please plan to stay for our Christmas lunch. Meat and beverages will be provided. Please bring a potluck dish to share.

The holidays are joyous and festive occasions for many of us. However, for some people this time of year can be quite painful and distressing. For those who have lost a loved one, for example, or who are separated from family, friends and the familiar, loneliness is often more acute at Christmas. While others are singing carols and feasting at parties and family reunions, these folks feel cut off and isolated.

We know our Savior as Emmanuel, which means God with us. Jesus comes to all, especially the downcast and brokenhearted. He reaches out to bring comfort and solace to those who are grieving.

Faith Presbyterian will offer a special worship service on Sunday evening, December 21st, 7:00 P.M., for all who may be feeling alone or down this year. The service is called “Blue Christmas,” and is traditionally offered when night is the longest. Blue Christmas worship is quiet and meditative, with candles and soft music, and speaks of hope, comfort, and light in the midst of darkness.

This service is for our members, of course, but is especially designed for our neighbors who may not have a church home. Do you know anyone who is lonely or hurting? Please invite him or her to come to the Blue Christmas worship. Offer to pick up and sit beside your friend through the service. (The present that is most appreciated by others is often the gift of our presence!)
Our Lord Jesus comes among us to heal, restore and save, and invites us to join Him in ministry to our neighbors.

Comfort me, comfort me,
Your Love will comfort me.
Letting go, now I see,
New hope embracing me.
