SAMARITAN's PURSE is coming to First Baptist LaPlace!
Their coordinator is already in LaPlace and we agreed to
partner together. Their team may begin arriving as early
as tomorrow. They will be sleeping upstairs at the church
for the next few weeks, at least, as they help us minister
to our community. Let's welcome them and show them our
appreciation!
