The Road to Damascus production is coming to Neighborhood Church on June 5, 2025!

The Road to Damascus began as a prayer for the release of Gloria “Mama Glo” Williams, a longtime member of the LCIW Drama Club whose 51 years behind bars were the longest sentence served at LCIW. From 2019-2022, PDMNOLA led a “Free Mama Glo” campaign with The Graduates, VOTE, Kumbuka African Dance and Drum Collective, The Washitaw Nation, ArtSpot Productions, St. Charles Ave. Baptist Church and its Center for Faith + Action to encourage Louisiana’s then-Governor John Bel Edwards to approve her release, which he finally did on January 25, 2022. 

In The Road to Damascus (As told by Grandmother to Little Red), Grandmother is an incarcerated woman who tells the story of Saul/Paul’s conversion experience to her granddaughter during prison visits as a way to illuminate the persecutorial nature of the system in which they live. They share stories of encounters with the Wolf and the Huntsman that leave questions as to which of these two figures is predator and which is savior. Grandmother casts her prison guard, who happens to be named Saul, as the Huntsman in the tale she weaves for Little Red. Through the telling of the tale, we examine the perpetrator/victim/savior dynamic that is present in both stories, in ourselves, and in our national consciousness.

At a time when Christianity is increasingly polarized by political interests and parties, this performance calls on Christ’s deepest teachings to help us look at the role we have each played in crime and punishment, harm and healing, and invites us to deepen our collective ability to look at and begin to heal the harm that has been done to our nation and its citizens in the name of Christianity.

Mark your calendars! Every First Sunday, we'll have lunch handled - just bring a side to share, or just bring yourself. We'll share a Sign Up Genius in the church email the week before, just so we don't all bring mac and cheese (although - would that be so bad?). Plan to be with us and enjoy this chance to meet your new friends & neighbors!

Easter is more than one Sunday - it is a 50 day season that restores our hopes and sparks a joy that defies limits. If you care to find us - we'll be exploring how the Resurrection of Jesus fuels our work to resist evil, injustice, and oppression and include absolutely everyone in the kindom of God. Death does not define us - and so together we're unlimited. Join us through early June on Sundays at 11 am for Defying Mortality!

GROW:kids - May 18, 2025

For the spring of 2025, GROW:kids will be a "right after worship" timeframe (roughly 12:30pm to 2:30pm). We will have lunch, learn more about the Bible through stories, drama, and activities like games and crafts. Each month we will have a different engaging theme - and our hope is that GROW:kids is a safe and fun place for kids roughly in Pre-K through 5th grade.
