Throughout the time of transition, the monthly Luck of the Pot dinner gatherings became a great way for the St. James’ family to come together in fellowship and strengthen community ties. The Youth Group hosted a fabulous Luck of the Pot in October shortly after Kristin+ arrived and then we took a break until the new year because of the holidays. In conversation at the last Vestry meeting, Vestry members and Kristin+ celebrated all that the Luck of the Pot gatherings have meant to St. James’ and also discerned a new path going forward. Instead of monthly meals we will be focusing on 4-6 parish feasts throughout the year, the first of which will be Shrove Tuesday. Others that rose up are the Memorial Day cookout, the parish celebration of the Feast of St. James’ in July, and a Stewardship Celebration dinner in October. If you have ideas for other feasts let us know!
