Eat Your Greens at First Friday Tonight

Join First Friday tonight for a night of green - be it Irish, springing plants, or paying taxes. Please bring something to share - your favorite beverage (green tea? limeade?), an appetizer (pesto dip?), soda, an addition to our salad bar - or just come, even if the green muse doesn't strike. 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. tonight in Norton Hall. Child care is provided.

For the Love of Chocolate: Join Us at First Friday This Week

For millennia, February has been a time of public declarations of affection, sugar-coated gluttony and wild abandonment of resolutions. Your (loving) hosts of First Friday are fond of tradition, so we’re devoting our next gathering to CHOCOLATE. Bring us your most delectable, irresistibly, completely chocolicious dishes. We all shall vote on the best. The winner will take home an amazing prize. Join us this Friday, February 1, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m., in Upper Norton Hall. Dinner is provided; please bring something to share – your favorite beverage, an appetizer, soda, a salad — or just come. If you'll need childcare, please contact ross@stpaulsalexandria.com.

First Friday Tonight: B.Y.O.C. (Bring Your Own Chili)

Are you up to your ears in white lights, wrapping paper and the chorus of "All I Want for Christmas"? Are you craving not eggnog and candy canes, but perhaps, a heaping bowl of, say, chili? If so, dig out your best recipe -- be it Cincinnati style, Flamin' Texas, or veggie -- and bring your entry to First Friday. If you’re still honing your personal chili recipe, simply come and enjoy the chili of fellow parishioners. Tonight at 6 p.m. in Upper Norton Hall, childcare provided. If you'll need childcare, please email Rev. Ross Kane.

Rocklands BBQ will provide the eats, including some meatless options for the non-carnivores.

WHERE: Norton Hall, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 228 South Pitt St., (at the corner of Duke St.), Alexandria, VA

What about the kids?? Here's the best part--

weeSIT, St. Paul's long-standing babysitting service, takes care of the kids and serves them pizza in Wilmer Hall. Young ones (under age 5) go downstairs, where the preschool classes are held. Older ones go upstairs to the 2nd floor. Babies go to the nursery, also on the 2nd floor.

See you October 5!
