Barbi Lare Photo and Story
The rain stopped Saturday (July 12, 2003) just in time for the first diners attending the chicken dinner at St. Martin-in-the
Fields Church. The smoke from cooking the chickens filled the air out front by the road,
while the celebrating folks viewed the 100 baskets for the silent auction.
The kids had a good bounce in the bounce house and Kumbala, the Clown, made
balloons for all. Buster Bison was also on hand. And all the time, The
BarRoom Buzzards entertained under the big tent.
Needless to say, the delicious chicken from Wills Poultry was cooked to
tenderness and the complete dinner was delivered to more than 650 folks.

St. Martin's Christian Ed Program Prepares for Lent
Barbi Lare photo
The theme for Lent this year at St. Martin-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church is 'the wearing of many masks' that we show to God during
our lives. To illustrate this, an intergenerational session was held Sunday,
when adults and children made their own masks to reveal their
intentions to God and to each other. We wear many masks to separate us from
God or to relate to God.
Each
'artist' produced his own mask, and there were no two masks that were the same. The complete
display will be shown at a later service during Lent, coinciding with Fr. Earle King's sermon for the day.
