Fall Bazaar Committee

The annual bazaar resumed in 2007 and is a major fund raiser – and community builder – for the church. It is our hope that every household will contribute to the bazaar in some way, by serving on a planning committee, donating regifting items or baked goods, volunteering to help sell items during the bazaar, or helping to set up/take down the tables and chairs. Your prayers for a successful event are greatly appreciated.

The 2011 bazaar will be held Friday and Saturday, October 14-15, and will include handmade crafts, a bake sale, re-gifting tables, gift basket chance raffle, one-grand raffle, pumpkin patch, cake walks, and a food concession.

New this year: The bazaar will be more family friendly, with children’s activities such as face painting and games.

The bazaar co-chairs are Pat Farmer, 301-776-4546, (send email), and Linda Stone, 301-604-6227, (send email).The planning committee meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7 pm in the Cry Room March through September.
