Here's a look at the Mardi Gras outreach event that took place on Sunday, Feb. 15 at Lakeside Baptist Church in Metairie.

This was the first time ever something like this has been done at a Jefferson Parish parade by one of our Southern Baptist Churches and it was awesome. I love the fact that God raised up one of our smallest churches, with and average Sunday morning attendance between 25-30, to start something BIG for Him during Mardi Gras. They did a lot of hard work to make this happen and with the help of her sister churches, First Baptist Belle Chasse and Celebration, this event brought the love of Christ out onto the streets and to the people of Jefferson Parish. In the end, three people made decisions for Christ!
