Young Adult/Youth/Children's Hayride and Bonfire

2/21/2017

 
Sunday, February 19th was beautiful, sunny and warm-- 70* in February! It was a perfect day to be outside. There were 9 children and 21 adults present.

We had so many children and adults that we had to have two hayrides for all the kids to have a turn. We stopped mid-ride to feed apples to the horses, and for the some of the more adventurous children to play in the creek that was still pretty cold despite the unseasonably warm weather of late.

Everyone was eager to have dinner. Several parishioners brought their version of lasagna, ranging from the traditional meat and red sauce to a vegetable casserole with a cream sauce. We also two wonderful salads and garlic bread prepared by other parishioners.  It was such a nice day that the children and parents sat outside to eat dinner.

For dessert we gathered around a bonfire to make s'mores. The adults were even more excited about the bonfire than the children, jumping up to the fire to squeeze 6 marshmallows between their graham crackers. It was messy, but so delicious!

More than one person said what a great day it was to share fellowship with one another and get to know other parishioners better.  Someone remarked that St. James is his family and he is so grateful to be together.

We had so many parishioners bring food (some who offered despite not being able to attend), so thank you to everyone who made lasagnas, bread and who brought dessert items.

February 2017 Room at the Table

2/15/2017

 
Team 5 with new to the team as captains - captains Annette, Susan, and Alison hosted the Room at the Table meal Saturday, Feb. 11 for 51 guests and 30 take outs.  The menu was chicken and rice, green beans, and bread.  Susan and Annette cooked the chicken. We opened 11 cans of green beans from the pantry, seasoned with Italian salad dressing.  A parishioner provided fantastic bread from the local Mexican bakers.  Dessert was cobbler and ice cream.

We had a little bit of food leftover that was taken to Caldwell House.

Thanks to all the team and to all of you at St. James for your great support of the Room at the Table ministry.

She transcribed it for us to be able to share the contents with the church. The letter is below. If the document does not appear, please Click Here.
