Taste of James Island

The James Island Outreach sponsors this wonderful event, A Taste of James Island. It really is everything the name suggests. We had close to a dozen churches and 4 or 5 businesses that brought their finest food to be sampled. There was Mac and cheese, pulled pork sliders, nutter butter banana pudding, chocolate everythings, paella that would make you yella, and on and on. It was a gastronomical gathering of the best of the best! I tried to make it all the way around to every booth but just could not do it. It was fabulous.

Now, the other taste of James Island. The entertainment was incredible. There was live music, jump castles, vendor booths (that was new), Gospel music, old timey music, kid’s music and lots of giveaways. Again, you heard the best of James Island.

On top of all that, since January, 28 James Island Churches and organizations have given 8,508 pounds of food. Over 4 tons of food! James Island Baptist has given 1078 pounds of jelly. Really, a half of ton of jelly! The real taste of James Island is not all the wonderful food we enjoyed last Saturday. The real taste of James Island is the commitment that no one on James Island goes hungry unless we don’t know about it. Thank you for being so generous in your giving to your church and the community. That is the real taste of James Island.

By the way, the James Island Outreach is growing and moving to a new location. James Island Christian donated two very large mobile classrooms that will now house James Island Outreach. The new location will be at St. James Church on Camp Road. This will allow the Outreach to grow and better serve our community. The move has not happened yet but is close on the horizon. God bless all who are making this happen. Hey, if you would like to volunteer, we have JIBC members that volunteer on a regular basis. It is a great place to make a difference.

See you Sunday, good Lord willing,
