LAKEWOOD - All Saints Episcopal Church and La Casa De La Tia Restaurant will host one of 14 statewide “Grateful for the Shot” vaccination events this weekend aimed at promoting the safety of the vaccines and urging more residents to receive them.
The restaurant at 202 Main St. will offer the free shots between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Sunday, Gov. Phil Murphy’s office announced.
All Saints Church, located several blocks away, is promoting the event as one of several around the state using houses of worship to urge people to get vaccinated, Murphy s office said.
“Each event will have a ‘block party’ feel in a trusted and community atmosphere with a mix of food, music, and prizes in order to break down barriers to accessing the vaccine for individuals and families,” state officials said.

TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) - A Caribbean native is looking towards her second home in Tupelo to help those displaced in her homeland.
A volcano eruption on the island of St. Vincent displaced many to Kalil Delacoudray s homeland of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Now, she is partnering with a Tupelo-based organization to share her culture and support those in need.
Delacoudray shared cellphone video from friends and family of the La Soufrière volcano eruption on the island of St. Vincent. It erupted for the first time in 42 years.

A new twist to an annual tradition that came to a halt last year because of COVID-19, is back in Pratt. The Pratt Faith Partnership (PFP), formerly the Ministerial Alliance, has planned community luncheons during the month of May to compensate for Lenten Luncheons that were cancelled in 2020 and before Easter in 2021.
The Christian Church is in the season of Eastertide now and according to the Rev. Karen Lemon, All Saints Episcopal Church, “Easter is a more joyful time and people are hungry for fellowship and ready to get back to normal.”
Lemon said she had been thinking of suggesting something like these Eastertide lunches, though it was the Rev. Scott Powell, Abundant Harvest Church of the Nazarene, who brought the idea to the attention of PFP.
