Wendy D’s Mardi Gras Dinner – St. James Presbyterian Church was deeply saddened by the recent death of Wendy Densmore, a beloved member of the congregation. Just a couple of weeks before her death, while fighting cancer, she started planning a Valentine’s Feast with a Mardi Gras twist. We want to honour Wendy and her desire to have this feast. With a few tweaks to the date and menu, we will have a Mardi Gras dinner on Sat., Feb. 20 at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and limited in number (60), and can be reserved by calling 450-4031 or emailing sjchurch@nbnet.nb.ca.

Our Annual Meeting will be held this Sunday (February 21) after worship.

He is a member of the Fredericton Symphony Orchestra, Leo Hayes High School music programs and the Fredericton Concert and Marching Band. He has performed with the Lintuhtine Music Academy as guest musician and has been an active member of SONA, a young, traditional teen ensemble who “wowed” audiences at many prestigious festivals last summer.
