This past Friday evening a couple in our church who have the gift of hospitality opened up their home to our Sunday School class from Cornerstone Baptist Church in Jennings. It was our annual Christmas Party. We met at 5:30 and visited for a good while. We then circled up in the kitchen, held hands and prayed. There were 19 of us in attendance.
We lined up and fixed our plates. There were lots of delicious dishes on the buffet line. I tried to try a little bit of everything. Some of the more interesting was boudin stuffed in a pastry with a pepper jelly glaze, homemade sausage, and... Alligator! It was lean and in a spicy gravy. There were more desserts than you could shake a stick at. We had coffee with dessert and then moved to the living room where we took pictures around their tree.
Then we sang Christmas carols. Next year we'll bring our song books since we only know the first verse of each carol, pretty much. We sang some hymns in Cajun French along with interpretations for the non-French speakers. We laughed and joked around and thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
It is good to have a close church family to belong to! What a blessing from God.
