A Heartfelt Thank You! ❤️

What a wonderful evening celebrating our volunteers at our Women’s Guild Appreciation Dinner!

We are so grateful for everyone who helped make our city-wide yard sale a success, especially Sharon Guitreau for her leadership. Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time, energy, and smiles to serve our church and community. Your dedication and willingness to help are a true blessing.

A special thank you as well to everyone who prepared and brought delicious dishes for our appreciation dinner. Your generosity and hospitality made our time of fellowship even more meaningful.

Our church is blessed because of faithful servants like you. Thank you for all you do to share Christ’s love through your service. We appreciate each and every one of you!

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23

Today, my final Sunday to serve as pastor of First UMC, Ponchatoula, has arrived, and I am filled with mixed emotions. My deepest gratitude to the church family for their unwavering love, friendship, kindness, and support. We have created cherished memories over the past six years, and I pray for God’s continued divine blessings on this wonderful congregation. May His peace and love be with you always.

Help us “officially” welcome Riley to the family of Faith! Riley has been actively involved in working with our audio visual team as well as taking on the role of managing our digital sign. We are truly blessed to have him in service and ministry here with us.
