Women of the ELCA
Calling All Crafters!
St. Paul’s Women have been hard at work in planning for Fall Fair 2019 and we are pleased to announce a few changes to our tradition. The Fall Fair is set for Saturday, November 2nd from 9am – 3pm here at church. As we plan for our 14th annual Fall Fair we will, for the first time, rent a few vendor spaces to crafts people.
A vendor application form has been released for anyone interested in applying to be a part of our annual Fall Fair. Because we want to be sure we don’t have vendors all selling the same sort of wares (we are only accepting homemade or upcycled items) we plan to choose those displays that will best fit our needs.
A busy weekend at St. Paul’s!
- Car show is scheduled for Saturday afternoon from 4 to 8 pm. Following the Farmer’s Market no one should park in our church parking lot. Cars going on exhibit will begin coming in by mid afternoon. Entry to the car show is free for spectators and a $10 entry for each show car. The youth will have the food to sell-hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, BriCin’s fried dough pizza, and lots of cold beverages to keep you hydrated. There will be trophy awards, a 50/50 drawing, as well as a drawing of Prizes that have been donated. Please come and support St. Paul’s.
- Beginning at 9am on Sunday we will gather in the fellowship hall for a breakfast prepared by fellowship committee chief cooks! Breakfast casseroles, egg dishes, French Toast casserole, etc. The breakfast is free and open to all members as we honor Elizabeth Goehring, our seminary student who is completing her time with us at St. Paul’s. Elizabeth jumped right in to her experience by meeting folks, participating in many actual services-preaching 3 times, lectoring, communion assisting, visiting SS classrooms, etc. Congregants have been given opportunity for contributing to a monetary gift for Elizabeth. That will be presented before breakfast. Obviously with a big breakfast before church there will no coffee hour following church.
- A Baby picture(s)! The box should be full by now but there is still plenty of room for photos of you and your family. Please bring a picture(s) this Sunday! St. Paul’s Women will hostess a “mock Baby shower” after church on Sunday, August 18th that is free and open to all members and friends. It is meant to be a fun celebration of each of us. Please plan to stay and celebrate!
