Pop-Up Candlemas Celebration: Tamale Making
All are invited to come and celebrate Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, through a series of multi-cultural events at Procter Center.
On Saturday, January 31, Xandra Sharpe (chef and kitchen manager at Procter) and the Rev. Gerardo Romo Garcia (missioner for Latino ministries) will lead a free tamale making workshop from 3-5 pm.
Then on Monday, February 2 (the Feast of Candlemas!) spend an evening at Procter, enjoying an international Candlemas Dinner at 6 pm. For $10, we’ll feast together on tamales from Mexico, crepes from France, and more! We’ll also have the opportunity to share together some Candlemas craft activities.
After dinner, join us for SING! Candlelit Holden Evening Prayer, Blessing of the Candles, and a Winter Hymn Sing led by Nathan Greer (co-executive director at Procter Center) and Stephen Sollars (organist at St. John’s, Worthington). There’s no-cost to join our service and hymn sing! Overnight accommodations are available for the evening of Feb. 2 for an additional cost.
All are welcome; minors must be accompanied by an adult. Registration deadline is Jan. 28.
