An Evening of Wine, Food, and Fellowship

Thank you to everyone who made the St. Nicholas Sip and Savor such a memorable evening!

Six people sitting around a round dining table with a floral centerpiece and drinks, in a well-lit banquet hall.

Some evenings just have a way of reminding you what church family looks like, and our St. Nicholas Sip and Savor fundraiser was one of those evenings.

Friends gathered around the table for five beautifully prepared courses, each thoughtfully paired with wines selected by Marian Chancellor. From Whispering Angel Rosé and Harken Chardonnay to Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Prosecco, every course brought new flavors and plenty of smiles.

The meal itself was extraordinary:

  • Burrata with grilled peaches and prosciutto

  • Shrimp cakes with citrus salad

  • Grilled tuna

  • Seared pork tenderloin with sweet potato grits and a red wine cherry reduction

  • Chantilly cream cake with fresh berries

It was an unforgettable evening of wonderful food, exceptional wine, and more laughter than we could have hoped for.

A Ministry of Love

Proceeds from the evening benefit the St. Nicholas Project, which serves foster children and families through Children's Protective Services in Leflore County. Every person who attended became part of that ministry.

Jamie Hargett's leadership of the St. Nicholas Project continues to be a blessing to the Nativity Parish and to the children and families we serve.

A large room filled with people sitting at round tables covered with red and green tablecloths. The tables have food, drinks, and gift boxes on them. There are children and adults, some standing and some seated, engaging in conversations and activities. In the background, a kitchen window shows people preparing food. The room has wooden floors and beige walls.

A Beautiful Reminder

It was a beautiful reminder that some of life's greatest gifts are found around a table—sharing a meal, enjoying one another's company, and supporting a mission that makes a real difference in the lives of children.

We look forward to next year!
