MISSON:
At Grace Church of Paulina, we love celebrating St. James Parish and the unity of people. With our community rich in amazing cooks, Gathered in Grace Gumbo Cookoff was inspired as an outlet and opportunity for those cooks to showcase their talents, as well as to enjoy each other’s company and to serve the community with their delicious gumbo. As much as we love competition, we are also looking forward to a relaxed day of good times!
