Something to Celebrate in New Orleans
Trust in a Time of Trouble
Fig trees may no longer bloom,
or vineyards produce grapes;
olive trees may be fruitless,
and harvest time a failure;
sheep pens may be empty,
and cattle stalls vacant–
but I will still celebrate
because the LORD God
saves me.
In the early days after Hurricane Katrina, the nation watched as the day-by-day accounts of New Orleans’ horror unfolded. As a result of high winds and rising flood waters, New Orleans became part of the sea for two weeks and more than 250,000 homes were rendered uninhabitable. Throughout the Gulf region at least 2 million people were displaced to virtually every state in the continental United States.
The Celebration of Hope at the New Orleans Arena, March 11–12, will proclaim God’s faithfulness in the midst of life’s storms. Featuring worship (led by Point of Grace, George Huff, Nicole C. Mullen, and Ricky Skaggs), a time of prayer, testimonies, a word from Billy Graham, and a message delivered by Franklin Graham.
All seats are free. Tickets are not required.
