Holiday Bazaar

This year’s 100th bazaar features a wide variety of items for sale on the building’s two levels and a raffle for a beautiful, handcrafted bed quilt. Shop upstairs for handmade crafts, jewelry, scarves, silk neckties, and a collection of gently used books. Also upstairs, bid on a wide selection of theme baskets that make wonderful gifts for a friend or for yourself.

On the lower level of Fellowship Hall is a room with games, puzzles and toys for both children and adults. This year’s Garden Table will have a wide variety of indoor plants and garden-related items. Homemade foods will be available and safely packaged for take-out. Food tables will be filled with jams and jellies, breads, as well as specialty and traditional pies. And, just in time for the chilly weather, a variety of delicious, hearty soups can be purchased by the pint or quart.

This year’s 100th Bazaar anniversary quilt was made and donated by Dorothy Douglas. The 91” x 81” quilt is called “Round About,” and is done in rose and green batiks. The fun part about this pattern is that it is made with triangle-shaped pieces of fabric and, when assembled, it creates the pattern of circles.

Quilt raffle tickets will be on sale during the bazaar and also by calling the church office. They are $3 each, or 2 for $5, or 5 for $10. The drawing for the winning ticket will be held on Sunday Nov. 3, after Sunday service in Fellowship Hall. The winner need not be present to win.

Entrances will be open at 30 North Pleasant Street and also under the Seymour Street portico. All proceeds from the Bazaar benefit the church’s programs.
