Spring Fellowship Dinner…will it happen? It depends on you!

rachelharrel Announcements, Community Support, Dinners, Fellowship, Happenings, Ministry, Music, Sharing Garden, Talents 0

The Spring Fellowship Dinner is quickly approaching but the Fellowship Dinner is questionable at this point. Tickets are going very slowly to date and unless we can sell 100 tickets by next Sunday, we will be forced to cancel the event. We have quality entertainment planned, Tom Hanford, a well known entertainer in the area is planning to play a mix of old and contemporary songs to get all generations tapping their toes (http://www.tomhookerhanford.com/)! The dinner is planned to help support the Sharing Garden which provides healthy vegetables to the soup kitchen and food pantries throughout the growing season. Soaker hoses and repairs to the irrigation system are two things desperately needed at this point. If you wish to purchase tickets for the dinner, please call the church office (860/482-3555) to reserve them.
Saturday, May 13th is the date for the Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast, Sue Racloz’ flavored rice, Veggies, salad, bread, beverages, and Mom’s favorite cookies*. We will also have macaroni & cheese for the younger crowd who might prefer that! Fellowship begins at 5:15pm and dinner is at 5:45pm. We will be honoring all women with a small gift and our usual paper bag auction will help support the Sharing Garden.
Please check your calendar and act now! Again, we must have at least 100 tickets sold in the next week in order to make the dinner happen.

This Sunday, December 18, the youth will be selling gourmet trail mix prior to and after the service. Come, fill a jar with your favorites and support the folks going to WorkCamp this summer. Trail mix would make a perfect gift for teachers, bus drivers, those hard to shop for, and of course the outdoorsy type. And if you’re a finished with your shopping, trail mix makes a great midnight snack! Come visit our table before or after the service! If trailmix is not your thing, the Sharing Garden will have Amaryllis Gift Boxes for $21.00 each, see their setup as well! Thank you for your support.

Fall Fair…HELP WANTED! ITEMS NEEDED!

THE FAIR IS COMING! THE FAIR IS COMING …
Saturday, November 5th from 9am – 3pm is the date of St. Paul’s 11th Annual Fall Fair. A small but mighty group of women has been busy for months now creating things for the fair each Wednesday afternoon. There are a couple of weeks left if you’d like to join us on Wednesday afternoons from 1-3pm.
We invite the congregation’s help in making the fair a success. We always have the popular theme basket drawing. The themes of the baskets this year are: Crock Pot Supper, Kreative Kidz, Snack Attack, Some Like it Hot, Puzzle Me This, Angels Among Us, Chocolate, Ahhhh! Relax, Just Add Ice Cream, Car/Home Maintenance, Let’s Eat Cake/Baking, Game’s On, Helping Hands, and Gluten Free. Committees and organizations within the church are donating items to fill the baskets and the congregation is invited to bring things too! The baskets are located in the Parlor and are marked accordingly.
For the second year in a row we are planning a Silent Auction as part of the Fair. We are seeking donations of “high end” items and hand made things. Silent bids will be placed throughout the fair and winners announced at the end. If you have a donation to make for this, please let us know.
Lastly, the ever-popular bakery sale will also be held. St. Paul’s Women held a baking night to make Scandinavian Almond Cakes for the fair and we are seeking donations of all sorts of homemade goodies. There have been requests for homemade fudge of any sort. If you have a knack for making fudge, won’t you share your expertise with us?
The Fair is sponsored by St. Paul’s Women but it is meant for the entire congregation to enjoy and support. The proceeds of the fair support many missions and ministries which include the Angel Project and our annual educational scholarship, and so much more. Some of the projects we’ve supported in the past include the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund, Lutheran Home of Southbury’s electric bed fund, Relay for Life, and WorkCamp.

Feel free to call Lisa Bodnar (860/626-7103 or lisabodnar@snet.net) or Paula Rosenbeck (860/567-9505 or teetee108@yahoo.com) should you have questions. Return this form to the offering plate or to the church office.
