December 2016 Room at the Table

12/29/2016

 
Team Three served a delicious meal of Chicken, Dressing, and Green Bean casserole on Dec. 10, 2016.  In addition, guests had peaches, cranberry sauce, baked beans and bread and butter.  Desserts were a variety of cakes—some home made, some purchased, all yummy.  There was sweet tea and water to drink.  We made some coffee since it was cold out, but not many wanted coffee.  One of our guests, Michael, asked the blessing for all of us. 
 
The tables were decorated with magnolia leaves, pine cones, berries and colorful bows to make the Hogan Room look festive.  Sixty-two guests were served, some came back for seconds, and about thirty take-out plates were made. 

Thank you to all who helped!


Backpack Packing, November 8th, 2016

12/9/2016

 
Our wonderful Backpack volunteers met Thursday morning to prepare the packs that we distribute to children each month. St. James, along with 4 other area churches, sponsors Davenport Elementary School. This month, we packed for 60 students. Normally, each child gets one bag, but because Christmas break is coming up we made an extra pack per student for a total of 120. 

The menu was cornflakes and oatmeal, canned chicken breast, canned fruit, canned vegetables, soup, dried beans, fruit drinks, prepared skillet meals, and a special treat for Christmas: ham.

Thank you to Hank and Gloria who work so hard to create a solid meal on a budget! And thank you to everyone who donates to and volunteers for this program. Davenport is right across the street from St. James, so Backpack is a wonderful way for us to directly help those in need, especially children.
