Mardi Gras 2010

Mardi Gras was celebrated by a crowd of 43 folks this year. It seems like there were people gathered in every nook and cranny to enjoy a menu of home-cooked Italian food and the traditional King Cake for dessert. We Episcopalians like nothing better than a big party, and this is the last one for awhile; Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the penitential season of Lent.

Here We Grow Again....

Remember this picture from last year? These were the first of two groups of new members to be Confirmed or Received into The Episcopal Church at St. Paul's in 2009. Our total membership increased by more than 20 people last year, and it looks like 2010 is starting out just as strong.

We welcome our newest members, John and Barbara Cunningham, who have transferred their letters to St. Paul Church.  January 2010 saw us grow by 4 new members. What a great way to kick-off the new year!
