All Souls to Offer The Songs of Advent Tuesdays During Advent

As familiar as we are with the songs of Christmas, there are four songs recorded in the Bible to celebrate the birth of Jesus that most of us aren't familiar with: The angels sang a song to the shepherds; Mary sang a song to God; Simeon also had a song; and then there is the Song of Zechariah.

Please join us at All Souls Church at 5500 St. Claude Avenue as we delve into one of these songs each of the four weeks of Advent, on Tuesdays at 6:30pm.

A simple meal will be shared. You may call The Rev'd Edward Thompson (504-218-8995) for details.

Meditations are scheduled at 10:30 and 11:30 with dismissal at 11:45. During the silent periods, participants may meditate in the church or parish hall, read, stroll the grounds, or get coffee. Participants regroup in church for each meditation.

Jericho Road Logo Beginning in January, Jericho Road will be hosting a Central City Homebuyer's Club for potential homebuyers! This six month peer support group will focus on giving folks the skills they need to begin the process of homebuying! These skills will include: Credit score cleanup, money budgeting, how to pick out the loan which would best suit needs, and more.

The workshop is being put together by Sumi Dutta, Jericho Road's Homebuyer Outreach Coordinator, with the intention of helping people get the tools they need to become successful homebuyers. If you, or someone you know, may be interested in becoming a part of this club or if you have skills or resources that you feel could be helpful to club members, please feel free to contact Sumi at (504) 293-2887 or by email. We can't wait to help facilitate this opportunity!
