Where would you take 60 year old+ church ladies in New Orleans?
I'm taking my mother and auntie to New Orleans next month...they are church going Black ladies, but not stuffy. they will enjoy Bourbon street for one night, but where else? Where should I take them?
They are already bible-believing Baptists...they know about salvation.

I would take them to Franklin Ave. Baptist church this is a fun and lively church that preaches the gospel straight out. Good times and good preaching. Their services are at 7:30 and 10:30, but you should get there much earlier as seating fills up quickly.
Also, if they are more reserved, First Baptist New Orleans is still good preaching, but a more subdued service. The church is out toward Metairie (but still in NO). Their service is at 9:30.
Both of these are relatively large churches and easy to find.
I personally went to Edgewater Baptist while I lived there. It's a smaller, very friendly church. Their services are at 9:30.
As far as other things to do, they may enjoy the free ferry ride across the Mississippi. It's the Algiers ferry. It's just a ride across and back, good for photos and views of New Orleans. Going shopping in the Riverwalk Mall is fun. Eating almost anywhere in the Quarter or Uptown is good. I recommend Cafe Maspero, Port of Call and the Gumbo Shop in the Quarter, Voo Doo BBQ uptown, and for a good po' boy, go to Gene's Po Boys on Elysian Fields Ave.
Hope it helps and that you all have fun!

Take her the St. Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square in the French Quarter. It was built in 1718. You can also try St. Patrick's Church, which is the second-oldest parish in New Orleans.
An interesting historical note:
Novelist Anne Rice, who wrote the famous "Interview with a Vampire" and other Lestat novels, lived in New Orleans and set many of her novels there. Several years ago, she converted to Catholicism and is very familiar with these churches. If she's in town, perhaps you'll bump into her at one of the Masses.

Take them to a local service. Salvation is better than things of this world.
