Strawberries in the Wilderness & Lobsters on the Lawn
As we related in an earlier posting, the bags of strawberries that were not used for shortcake at the Strawberry Festival on June 24, were farmed out to kind folks' freezers. We expected to call all the berries 'home' within a week or so - after the new freezer in the Parish Hall was down to zero degrees.
However, the freezer cannot fit the 150 bags of strawberries as well as the weekly delivery of umpteen pies and bags of lobster meat which are used in our Lobster on the Lawn dinners each Monday.
So we have had to ask our kind hosts to keep our berry refugees a bit longer. Many jokes are starting to surface about the berries in diaspora. But 40 days at zero degrees isn't that long a time...
Our Music Director has a goal of raising funds for our series of musical events (concerts and special services) so that we can offer these opportunities to the community and parish more frequently and with less concern about donations on the day of a concert. We are blessed with a strong music program which enriches our worship and is a means of reaching out into our community.
Our Music Director also had a vision: to see people making more use of our beautiful campus during the summer.
How to achieve these two goals?
Lobster!! and Pie!! On Mondays in July & August, from 5:30- 7:30pm, we are offering picnic suppers of Lobster Rolls, pickles, chips, a drink, and a piece of blueberry or lemon meringue pie. (For those in your crowd who turn up their noses at crustaceans, there are PB&J sandwiches...).
We prep for the dinners on Sundays after 10:00am church and on Mondays starting at 3:00pm. All parishioners are welcomed and invited to sign up to help. Our first dinner was a huge success: over 150 dinners were sold! And the helpers get to laugh together and turn tasks into fun times! Tell Randolph James or Stasia Palmer you want to help and they will get you involved. Of course, buying dinner supports this as well, but then you miss out on the fellowship...
Pick up your dinners at the Parish House and settle down for a picnic supper. We have blankets, tables & chairs, but you are welcome to bring your own. Join us for a simple luscious supper while enjoying the natural beauty of the grounds for which we are God's stewards.
As a side benefit, for those of you who enjoy the a capella group Hyannis Sound, their concerts start at 8:00pm on Mondays, with doors opening around 7:30pm. So come to sup with us, and then walk across the street for the concert. How relaxing! How refreshing!
