lobsterfest-logoTwo work sessions are being planned to complete easy tasks for Lobsterfest.

On Thursday, September 9 at 6:00 p.m. Sheila Dixon will host a get-together at her home (171 Manton Drive, Fortson) to assemble hand fans for Lobsterfest guests. This is an easy task and will be made easier by your participation. Sheila will have appetizers, wine and soft drinks to make this a fun evening.

On Saturday, September 11, from 9:30 – 12:00, the second session will be held at St. Nicholas to help wrap utensil packets and place raffle ticket stubs in vials for the drawing. A continental breakfast will be served.

Please plan to attend one of these sessions and give Louie a hand…he has none, you know. These are good opportunities to visit with members of the St. Nicholas family and a fun and relaxing way to help with Lobsterfest. You may sign up for one or both of these times in the narthex or by contacting Sheila at Sheila.a.dixon@delta.com or Linda Sawyer at hogback@wavetel.us .

Youth Christmas Party 2009

This year’s Youth Christmas Party was a blast! Peggy and Doug Martin hosted at their home in Pine Mountain Valley. Everyone brought appetizers, which ended up being quite the feast! Terri Townsend led the youth in a ton of fun games including the Santa Suit Hunt, the Christmas Bow Challenge, Blindfolded Cookie Decorating, and Hide-and-Seek for Fr. Jeff. Throughout the night, the teens accumulated points to be used in the final game, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas Dirty Santa, where they had gifts that they rotated whenever their special word from the story was said. Sheila Dixon took the littler ones and played Pictionary and other games with them, as well as making some beautiful Christmas ornaments. Afterwords, Father Jeff led a cold worship service on the back porch, reminding the teens of the discomfort Mary and Joseph must have felt being stuck out in a manger.

Many thanks to all the parents, youth leaders, and especially the youth who came and participated! It was a great night! Below are some pics of the event:
