FESTIVAL
Once again our festival is fast approaching. Before you know it, the festival weekend of September 6, 7 and 8th will be upon us. So, now is the time to think how are we going to help our church.
We can help in many ways! We all know the drill by now. We can either help during the week of the festival by skewering kabobs, cutting vegetables or by putting the final touches together that will help this year's festival be another success.
Most help will be needed during the 3 day weekend in various areas!
We can also help by donating items from the festival item list or by putting an ad in our festival ad book, as soon as possible. A 20% discount is offered on ads placed prior to 7/31/19. Anything you decide to do will be greatly appreciated and beneficial. Please let us know by calling the church office, so we can mark you down. As always, thank you in advance. If you have any questions, please ask Diane Karavitis or call her at 1-508-574-9862.
