Care & Staying Connected

While all of us are staying close to home across the coming days, we encourage you to connect with family and friends or those around you who are isolated at this time. Phone calls, texts, emails, FaceTime, or other technology are wonderful ways to stay in community with one another and to continue to care for each other. Pastor Jay and Pastor Marissa and your church staff are continuing to reach out via phone to those in the Rayne Family who are in hospitals and nursing homes as they remain closed to visitors. If you have a care need arise now or any time, email us or call the church office at 504-899-3431 and leave a message. Our secretaries are monitoring your calls off and on daily.

Our Food Pantry remains open currently. Please let us know if you need food. You may also sign-up online to volunteer at the pantry by clicking here.
