Mardi Gras –February 21 --6 pm
Our Traditional Party Time at St. James!
Hard to believe, but we’ve been celebrating this annual event at St. James for over 20 years with traditional red beans and rice, music, King Cake, shoe box floats and lots of laughter and fun as we mark the last day of the Epiphany season.
It’s also the last day to let loose before we begin the solemn season on Lent…so plan to come…bring friends, relatives and neighbors.
Time to eat delicious food thanks to a wonderful kitchen krewe. And enjoy our kids’ creativity with their shoebox floats and entertaining parade. Music provided!
Everyone and all ages get to be a fun loving Cajun for one night.
Please also plan to help with our celebration…
· Saturday, February 18th will be our cooking day beginning at 9:30 am. Lots of hands make this an enjoyable time as we simmer those wonderfully spicy red beans.
· Monday, February 20th is decorating day…so plan on helping set up tables and setting up for the party.
· Tuesday, February 21 is final decorations and preparing the meal. Help is appreciated beginning at 10 am for blowing up balloons and final decorating. And again kitchen help beginning at 4:00 pm will ensure that we will have everything hot and ready.
Our Children’s Ministry team will be decorating shoebox floats beginning February 5th! The annual Shoebox Parade on Mardi Gras night is always a highlight of the evening.
And as always….
