Real Presence Trio to perform at St. Martin's Church
Friday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. St. Martin's Church will host a concert with Jack Craft (cello), Kimberly Mouledoux (voice), and Jim Walpole (piano). Lent is a time to reflect on our own lives and how we can be better Christians. What better way to do this than to experience this concert, which is designed through candlelight and simple arrangement of the piano, cello and voice, to allow the listener to experience the full presence and power of God. What a special treat to give your soul on Friday March 2, 7pm at St. Martin's Episcopal Church. All donations to benefit St. Martin's.

Jericho Road's Housing Initiative Work Continues
Saratoga Square: Construction continues on four new homes at Saratoga Square in Faubourg Lafayette of Central City, New Orleans, and are going to be a nice fit with the three houses already constructed by Jericho Road and the six constructed by Enterprise Corporation of the Delta (ECD). Jericho Road and ECD are staying true to the original concept of a cohesive look for Saratoga Square.
Vacant Land Management program: Since last August, the Vacant Land Management staff has been working diligently with a team from the Tulane City Center - an applied urban research and outreach program from the Tulane School of Architecture - to think through the landscape design and policy solutions for vacant lots, which includes the greening and beautifying of thse lots. Look for more about this project and partnership soon!
