My home parish of St. Andrew’s
Episcopal Church (Saratoga, CA) hosted its 2nd annual Youth Dinner and Dance on
Sunday night. St. Andrew’s large and active youth community plans, manages, cooks for,
and runs the popular event to raise money for their Mission Trip. Sunday’s cajun-style
dinner was excellent and there was much sharing between those with catfish and those
served pork.
This past June, the youth Mission Trip was to Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi (on the U.S.
Gulf Coast), to rehabilitate houses as part of the
Katrina
recovery effort. Next summer, they plan to work in Mexico.
The Dinner and Dance is fun both for those who work and those who dine. My son Paul
was again one of the table servers. John, Laura, J.R. and I bid on auction items;
Laura won a day at a local spa. One of the unexpected treats was not only listening
and dancing to the CSB Big Band
but also looking at their elegant instruments during breaks. Photos:
