Put St. Margaret’s First Game Night of 2018 on your calendar: Friday, July 13th, 6 p.m.  

The Outreach Committee hopes to host a series of Game Nights, always on the second Friday of the month.  We will start the evening with a potluck meal — bring a dish to share, whatever you like.  Bring your own beverages.  We’ll make coffee and tea. We will be inviting men and staff from the Re-Entry Center to join us.

In addition to multiple decks of cards, chips, Scrabble and Cribbage boards,  we expect to offer Risk (for the politically brave),  Monopoly and perhaps a few special puzzles for guests to put together.   Bring your own favorite games as well. 

All are welcome. Invite your friends.

This Sunday we will be celebrating Mary Provo and John Cuozzo as well as bidding them farewell and wishing them well on their move to southern Maine. We hope to see them in the next few weeks and later too, after they are settled in their new home.  John and Mary have been very active in our parish – in the choir, as Eucharistic Lay Ministers, on the Vestry and Discernment Committee, leading Adult Ed sessions and much, much more!  Come for a special coffee hour!

Join us on Saturday, June 16 at 6 p.m. as we share foods from India at our Global Cuisine potluck.  (If you don’t like indian – bring something of your choice).  Chris Urick and Nan Cobbey took plenty of pictures and brief videos of their time in India and will have a show running during dinner. After dinner they will tell about some of the interesting encounters they had.

Don’t miss this adventure. If you want to see how they prepare some of the recipes they learned, come earlier, at 4:30,  and watch Nan and Chris prepare five or more Indian dishes in St. Margaret’s kitchen.  They plan to make Chicken Vindaloo, two kinds of dal, a special lemon rice with peanuts and curry leaves, and a sweet/sour eggplant sautéed with tamarind (if suitable eggplants are available), and parathas – a simple bread made from just water, salt and flour.  You can expect to be served a “mango lassie” as well. That’s a popular Indian beverage made with yoghurt. 

Everyone is invited. Bring a dish to share, your own beverage and perhaps a friend or two.  Non-cooks are always welcome to provide ice cream or to help with clean up.
