Our Pumpkin Festival is just weeks away, and of course that means our Annual Silent Auction, always a popular event.
We are currently seeking donations for the auction, which is being held online. If you are able to secure a donation please contact me at grammy2drewski@yahoo.com, by phone 860 523-8017, or drop it off in the church office to my attention.
We have a number of beautiful handmade items from our Harvest Fair available to sell in the craft area. All of the items are priced, but we need a couple of folks to set up the tables, sell the merchandise, and pack up what hasn't sold at the end of the day. Why not grab a friend and spend the day enjoying the fellowship of the Pumpkin Festival and help us out by selling some of our beautiful handmade things.
The Food Drive will continue through Labor Day, and we're also accepting gift cards to Staples, Walmart, and Target to help students who are unable to afford the necessary school supplies. We're also accepting checks made out to "The Town That Cares" to support the "Back To School" effort.
In Christ's Service,
Joy Ferguson
