Kids got all dressed up in nice dresses and pretty headbands to go to church, but not for worship. Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church had a high tea on Sunday, Jan. 11.
“I thought it’d be fun,” said Kanie Semedo, age 7.
About 25 people came out to enjoy some tea and treats as a community.
“We were just looking for somewhere people can come and just decompress, have something that they can share, have somewhere that [they] can be served, the goodies and the tea,” said Reverend Faith Mbuthia, “We called that these people, our families here, our community to come and share a tea and get to know, engage, with each other.”
There was a large variety of bite sized treats and teabags to choose from, and Richard Bento from the Youth Group walked around serving iced tea and hot water for steeping the tea bags.
“You can put any kind of drink in it, like any kind of stuff and make it yummy,” said Emelia Fairclouth, age 8, “And I don’t know about tea.”
Fairclouth’s favorite part was helping someone else in line get their pastries.
There were a variety of fancy outfits; members of the church came in nice hats, many young girls wore nice dresses and one group showed up in full princess outfits.
“You have to dress for the part you want to play, that’s what I’ve been told,” said Tracey Oliver, a member of the church, “And I wanted to play high tea today.”
