TASTE OF JAMES ISLAND

Is it the same old thing only new and different? For the past several years we have really enjoyed the culinary throw-down called “The Taste of James Island”. It featured the best dishes from the best cooks for many of the churches right here on James Island. Our very own cooks won the coveted first place prize one year. Back in those days it was a free, family friendly event that helped raise awareness of the significant ministry and mission of the James Island Outreach. Mission accomplished and a great time was had by all.

Now, imagine the old Taste of James Island super-sized! Now we are featuring those same church cooks as well as local restaurants and community groups. Something great just got better! What could be better than 10 churches putting their best cooks to work? How about even more! The team that heads this up is pulling out all the stops to make this the signature food event on James Island. Come this year and you will be able to say you were there when it all started.

There will be kids activities, live music, a 50/50 raffle, door prizes and food, glorious food, galore.
Now here is the catch. It is a little different than the past years…everything was free. This is now more like all the other food festivals with an entrance fee. There is a $5 per person fee but children under 9 are free. You will be able to sample dishes for $2 each. This really has all the makings of one of the hottest tickets on James Island.

The date is Saturday, April 27 from 11 am to 3 pm. It will be held on the First Baptist School Athletic Field on 2051 George Griffith Blvd right here on James Island (Next to Walmart). If you think about it, bring a non-perishable food item to support the pantry. Btw, did you know that James Island Baptist gave almost 2 tons of jelly. You gave 3,416 pounds of food and an additional $7,040. to help support JIO. You are such a wonderful giving church family. If you hear of anyone who cannot go because of finances, please let me know. We will make sure they are not left out of the fun!

See you this Sunday, Resurrection Sunday! He is risen, He is risen indeed.
