Parish Family Night

We drove down to church this evening for a "Parish Family Night".  We attended vespers and then a potluck dinner in the hall.  Tonight's potluck theme was Greek food since we were going to receive a presentation from three of the teenage girls in the parish about their trip to Ionian Village this past summer.  The girls showed a wonderful slideshow presentation on a drop down projector screen in the front of the hall.  They shared tidbits about their trip and gave background information on the sites they visited with their group.  There were about 30 of us in attendance and it felt just like we were all gathered in someone's living room listening to our own daughters, nieces, or granddaughters excitedly recounting their trip to Greece as we munched on cookies and hung out with family.

Our next Parish Family Night will be a Romanian theme.  A Romanian priest from a neighboring community will be celebrating vespers with us (we have many Romanian families in our parish as well) and sharing a potluck dinner with us afterwards.
