January 2016 Room at the Table

1/25/2017

 
Team 4 hosted the January Room at the Table on the 14th.  The menu included chicken pie, pinto beans, and fruit cobblers with ice cream. Four team members prepared pies. We used a new crock pot recipe that is new to the team for our cobblers  The pintos were fixed prior to the meal from our pantry supplies, seasoned with a little onion and bacon. Two parishioners joined us to meet with our guests to take prayer requests, and to accept prayers from them for themselves and our church. 

To paraphrase that old Sinatra song  "It was a very good evening".

January Clothes Closet Update

1/24/2017

 
It always amazes everyone who walks into the Room at the Table Clothes Closet just before the guests arrive, how very generous you have all been in providing for the needs of others. At the end of the meal when we are “closing shop” it always amazes us how little is left.  Folks were very happy to receive warm, weather appropriate clothing and were vocal in their gratitude.  Having a St James style cooked meal was icing on the cake.
Here is an update on our current needs:



  • MENS:
    • We have no men’s shoes or boots. Sizes 12 and 13 have in particular been requested. Sneakers are always a hit.
    • Men’s jeans waist size 30, 32, 34 and 36
    • We need the following especially in LARGE and EXTRA LARGE:  flannel shirts, hoodies, winter Jackets
  • WOMENS:
    • Flats or sneakers.
    • Jackets
    • Jeans all sizes
  • CHILDRENS:
    • Children’s jackets and infant wear
    • Stuffed animals
  • MEN & WOMEN:
    • Underwear, size medium and up
Thank you for all you do and on behalf of all those you helped!

Eve of Epiphany Service 2017

1/9/2017

 
Last Thursday night we had an Eve of Epiphany Service. The Epiphany service celebrates the arrival of the Three Wise Men (Caspar, Balthasar, and Melchior) who came to honor Jesus after he was born. After a few volunteers valiantly portrayed the three kings, the front doors to the church were chalked with "20+C+M+B+17."

It was a cold evening with an impending Friday snowstorm, but many parishioners braved the weather to attend. We were thrilled to have members of First Presbyterian Church join us, including an excited young boy who volunteered to mark the front door.

After the service, we went downstairs for a dinner of chili, cornbread and salad.  The dessert, an Epiphany cake, held 5 surprises that each represented a different blessing for the coming year: a jewel, a pig, a quarter, a rock and beans.

Thank you to everyone who attended and who cooked!
