Fellowship at St. Alban's
St. Albans parishioners interact with each other in many fun ways. After each service there is an extended coffee hour where refreshments are served; many times we celebrate personal achievements like birthdays, birth announcements, youth successes, etc. One night every month we have the “parish fun night” where we play games, nibble on snacks, watch the kids cavort and have fellowship with our fellow parishioners.
Another monthly event for adults is the Fellowship Dinner. This entails having a group of 8 or 9 couples from both services mingle, meet new people and discuss issues of the day while sharing a potluck dinner. Couples take turns hosting the group at home. Lenten Suppers happen each Wednesday evening preceding Lenten instruction from the Rector. Participants enjoy a potluck dinner at the church.
Our major social event for the year is the Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday Dinner. The Parish Hall is filled with jovial people enjoying some wonderful New Orleans food brought in specially from the Gulf featuring Crawfish, Jambalaya and all the fixin’s. Our director of food operations is the Senior Warden, Creston King, a native of New Orleans. A highlight of the evening is the crowning of the King and Queen of our own little Mardi Gras celebration.
