UMW CHRISTMAS BAZAARDecember 8, 9:00 - 11:30 AM (Family Life Center)

Handmade Christmas crafts will be available for sale, so come do your Christmas Shopping early. We have great gif ts for family, friends, teachers, etc, along with ornaments, wreaths and other decorations. As always, proceeds from the sale go toward missions for women and children.

We will also have "gently used" Christmas decorations for sale. As you are pulling out your own decorations in the next few days, please consider donating what you may no longer need to our sale. It's a great time to downsize or just let others enjoy what you have enjoyed for years.
