Stew and Bannock

The Parish of the South Peace celebrated the work of the Council of the North on Sunday, September 27 by partaking of a Stew and Bannock Luncheon following the 11am morning joint worship service at St. Mark's Dawson Creek. Christ Church Pouce Coupe joined us in worship so to have the opportunity to also feast on stew. Visitors hearing of the lunch offering also dropped by to join us. Bison stew, or beef stew for those who like it a little less wild, were steaming and ready when the final amen was heard. Fresh bannock, biscuits and bread were served alongside for dipping in the stew - so as not to miss a delicious drop!

Thanks to all the cooks for the delicious stews and for the assorted accompaniments. We raised $251 for Council of the North; Thanks be to God!

A Successful Culinary Journey

St Mark's Centre became Greece on October 3rd to host 'The Culinary Journeys of St Paul'. Complete with towering pillars, artwork and ancient pottery it felt like a true Grecian gathering.

A delicious feast created by Anne and Jacquie and cooked up with the assistance of a number of volunteers was something to see and taste! Kabobs, roasted veggies, pilaf, fresh hummus and pita bread, wine and of course...mmm...Baklava!

St Paul himself, in the form of Archdeacon Greg Gilson entertained the sold out crowd with stories of St Paul journeys and the origin of the ingredients in the food prepared for the feast.

Belly dancers invited specially for the feast also entertained the crowd and enticed some to join in ... as evidence are the attached pictures!!!

Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this event such a success for the Parish of the South Peace!

The crowd enjoys the dance entertainment.
