Welcome to Lagniappe Online!
God is moving us somewhere....We're just not sure where yet!
The church is a bit like a hermit crab...the crab is the crustacean (decapod crustacean be be precise) living inside of different shells over the course of its life. Similarly, the church is the people, and the building we meet in is just our temporary shell. Well, with the closing of LESM Mission On the Bay, LPC is a bit like a hermit crab in the middle of the ocean about to lose our one shell but without another secure one yet in sight. We have been priviledged to share space with LESM Mission on the Bay free of charge, but at the end of August they will close their doors and we will be seeking another facility in the Bay St. Louis and Waveland area.
One thing we know--God provides. He owns all the money and all the real estate, so we are boldly asking for provision.
In the meantime, we need help to move our things into storage! If you are a member, friend, or attendee of LPC and you are interested, please join us for our moving day:
