| Saturday lunches at Saint Mary's always include live music. Here Wellfleet's John Best on guitar and Jean Sagara on fiddle are joined by Provincetown musician April Baxter, playing her traditional Irish drum, the bodhran. All sing. |
The Church of Saint Mary of the Harbor has announced that its first Community Luncheon of 2017, scheduled at noon today, Jan 7, will be cancelled due to the impending snow storm. Barring further inclement weather, the first lunch of the season will be held next Saturday, January 14th, continuing weekly at 12 PM each Saturday through February.

| This chicken dish, made with colorful peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and celery is a perennial favorite, even bringing back out-of-towners from Yarmouth. Folks look forward to savoring Priscilla Jacket's Tandoori Chicken every year. |
For many years now, Saint Mary's has held a series of off-season get-togethers each Saturday in January and February, when the holidays are over and the snow is usually beginning to fly, and spirits may begin to flag a bit among PTown's tiny population of year-round residents. Many of us become rather reclusive at this time of year, and these great meals and live music can help to get us out of the house to socialize a bit, enjoy the company of our neighbors and meet new friends.

| Desserts are made by the volunteers, who help out in the kitchen, serve the meals at your table and clean up afterwards. Thank you! |
After lunch people linger over a cup of coffee and trays of desserts, usually bite-sized brownies, bars and squares of cake, each one cut small enough that you can sample several while enjoying the music and the conversation around your table. And you simply can't beat the view of Provincetown Harbor from Saint Mary's, situated right on the beach at 517 Commercial Street, in the East End.
These saturday social hours are great fun for all, and, of course, everyone is invited.
I hope to find you all at a few of these luncheons over the winter.
