After months of prayer, listening, discerning, discussing, and considering options, we feel prudence and charity have called us to suspend our Annual Christmas Bazaar and Penny Sale this year to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and keep our volunteers and community safe. We look forward to November 2021, when we can open our doors for a bigger and better and more celebratory Bazaar than ever before. (And that is saying a lot, considering how tremendous our Christmas Bazaar always is!) We will, however, still hold our Annual Grand Raffle, as no attendance is required to win. More details coming!
