NEW ORLEANS (BP) -- Lack of electricity did not equal a lack of worship
in Hurricane Isaac's wake at many of the Southern Baptist churches
across New Orleans Sunday, Sept. 2.
With or without power, the
churches gathered to praise God and seek His face during another
difficult experience just seven years after Hurricane Katrina.
Like
most other area churches, Poydras Baptist Church in St. Bernard Parish
(southeast of New Orleans) was without power. After suffering through
the relentless hurricane earlier that week, 50 people attended worship
that day at Poydras. The group met in the church foyer.
"We sang a
few hymns and proclaimed God's Word," pastor John Gailey said. "We even
had an invitation. We worshiped without electricity, but we had the
true Power."
