St James holds NFL Day
The congregation of St. James United Methodist Church in Darlington under the leadership of Dr. Marvin L. Caldwell got an early start on Super Bowl festivities with its NFL Day, which followed the morning worship service. The event was held in the church’s fellowship hall. Congregants prepared foods typical of tailgating parties and some not-so-typical foods. On the menu were a variety of foods, ranging from hot wings and deviled eggs to barbecued pork and chicken bog.
Team banners were on display, and tables were decorated with balloons and team table coverings. There were a variety of teams represented; however, the two teams who will be in the Super Bowl were not church favorites. The Dallas Cowboys appeared to be most popular.
Tickets were drawn where prizes were given to lucky winners. Hulu hoops were available for those who wanted to participate in FAN activities. (FAN is the church’s physical and spiritual fitness initiative).
