A big thank-you from the St. Alban’s Committee O’ Fun!!
Thanks to all who bought tickets, baked desserts, made chili, baked corn bread, endlessly steamed oysters, and those who volunteered their valuable time and talents to make our 11th Annual Oyster Roast & Chili Fest a great success. Carl Davis and Dick Brands, using their experienced taste pallets were our honored judges for the Chili Competition. Blind tasting about 40 varieties, they chose our own Carol Smith as the winner. She now holds the coveted Chili Rock Trophy until our next event. This annual event raised in the neighborhood of $6,700 for our St. Alban’s Outreach Ministries!
ST. ALBAN’S MEN’S STUDY GROUP meets at 7:30 a.m. the first and third Tuesday each month. The group’s purpose is to expand our ability to serve the people we meet in our daily lives through study and prayer. These methods include Bible study, book study and videos. The Men’s Study Group is open to all men. Newcomers are always welcome.
Upcoming Meeting: March 3, 7:30 a.m.
