2024 Bazaar Week
The Bazaar is coming-and going! We need YOUR help. This is our most significant fundraising event of the year, offering many opportunities for everyone to participate and contribute to its success! Please see below for an opportunity that might work for you.
We will be setting up after church on November 17 and tearing down after 2 pm on November 23.
Just like the Christmas Pageant, this is an all-hands-on-deck plea. We will need lots of furniture moved and rearranged to make the Bazaar possible and to restore the facilities afterward. No one is too old or young to lend a hand.
Bazaar Booth Needs
The Boutique
The boutique is in need of extra large shopping bags to accommodate the large wreaths. We would certainly welcome various sizes of shopping bags for other booths---Crafts, Books, Attic Treasures, etc. Thank you!!
The Silent Auction
