Description

Ordination of Kirsten Elizabeth Wee to the Ministry of Word and Sacrament This is a Service of Holy Communion with the Ordination of Kirsten Elizabeth Wee to the Ministry of Word and Sacrament. Immediately following the service, light refreshments, with a New Orleans flair, will be served in the Fellowship Hall. Consistent with the New Orleans COVID restrictions for churches and to protect the health and safety of those who are unvaccinated, our children and higher risk individuals, we will continue our precautions of social distancing between family groups, hand sanitizing and masking. (Those not able to attend in person are invited to join our livestream at https://gracenola.org/. No registration is required for the livestream.) We are a congregation of the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Grace is open to people from all walks of life, in every stage of life. We aim to serve God’s Kingdom as a united body of Christ, offer discipleship opportunities, and plan programs intended to reach and involve God’s Church. Grace will celebrated its 125th Anniversary in 2022.  Since 1897 Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church has been Calling, Equipping, and Sending God’s people  to thrive as believers in the New Orleans area. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the immense disaster and suffering it brought to the lives of the people of New Orleans, we are a growing ministry determined to make its mark in the long-term rebuilding of not only our homes and churches, but to also support and develop the entities that minister to areas of injustice that exist in our great city. We are a church that has been richly blessed and desires to give back that which we have received and been transformed by. With pride and determination, we do not want the grace we have received to be in vain.
