2nd Annual Pre-Holiday Bazaar—Nov. 16th, 10AM-4PM
Things are gearing up! Items are being sewn, crocheted, knitted, painted, and canned! But, there is still a lot to be accomplished. Don't forget to take a look at some of your "precious" items that are stored away in cabinets and boxes. They may be a great item to donate toward the "Collectibles" Table during the bazaar. We will have an appraiser who is willing to come look at items, and give honest opinions and fair pricing. Keep thinking about what you may want to do for a bazaar item! Maybe you would like to donate jewelry, baked goods, or show off your own artistic talents. Whatever you decide, it is a welcome addition toward the success of our church event! Call the office if you need space to work on your project. We are happy to open up a room for you work on your masterpieces!
