and fun items bearing unique Christian logos.
Available items include tee-shirts, ball caps, tote bags, lunch sacks,
blankets and wall hangings. All items
are $15 with the proceeds going to the JD’s & Sr. High Youth summer
mission trips. We will be taking
orders through today; all items will be here in plenty of time for the
holidays. Check out our display in the
Fellowship Hall following worship or you can see any JD or Sr. High Youth. We SO appreciate your
willingness to help with food for funerals. However, we now have a quantity
of bowls, pans, platters, etc. that need to find their way home. Please stop in the kitchen after
services today to pick up your serving container & take it with you. Any
items left at the time of the Bazaar will be sold at the Bazaar. The “Jewelry
Boutique” for the Holiday Bazaar is looking for your donations of used
jewelry. Please drop them off in the
