Good Food, Good Neighbors
by Mark Fortune on April 8, 2015Monday, March 30 was our first monthly Food Truck Meet-Up at St. Margaret’s – better known as St. Margaret’s Mondays. By all accounts it was a big success! We had 10 local food trucks participate and somewhere between 300-400 people attend, most of whom were not “St. Margaret’s People.” Which was the point! While it’s always great to get together with our St. Margaret’s friends, this event was designed primarily to help draw our neighbors onto our beautiful property. The event came about because Shay and I attended a similar event last Spring and thought, “why can’t we do this at St. Margaret’s?” With the support of Mary and The Vestry we’re off and running. I want to thank so many of you who helped pull this off (and will continue to help pulling it off), it’s always worlds easier when this community comes together.
The purpose of this event from a Growth & Evangelism standpoint is to open up our space to our neighbors – it’s just that plain and simple. How many cars drive past our entrance every day and don’t see our buildings (or even know they’re there)? What if by having a meal and a conversation in our parking lot someone decides to check us
The Next Meet Up is Monday, April 27 – 5:00-8:00 PM
