Moments and Memories--Youth Mission Trip 2018


This summer, 10 youth and 3 adults ventured to Atlanta, Georgia to spend some time in urban ministry with DOOR.  We spent the week serving in different places like a food pantry, Books for Africa, feeding homeless and children, and spent time looking at the life of Martin Luther King Jr. It was a powerful experience for all! 



Atlanta is only different than Shreveport because of it's size, the demographics for the two cities are very much the same, so it was powerful to see what Atlanta is doing to make it's city better and see that we can do the same things in Shreveport.

 
Noel's Family Ministries - A Bright Future!


With the dynamic duo of 
Jeanie Middleton and Bruce Weber leading our family ministries, 
we look forward to exciting things ahead!






As our Children's Ministry  Director, Jeanie is in charge of all things children. Bruce, who began here as our Youth and Young Adult Director at Noel on July 1, has already began planning for Fall and beyond.
 
We are so grateful to have you both at Noel!
