St. John's Christmas Fair - On Saturday, November the 30th

Jingle those bells and roll up your sleeves! The annual Christmas Fair fundraiser is coming on Saturday, November the 30th from 10 am to 1 pm. Here's how you can help. 

FESTIVE BAKING is always a big hit with the community so it's a good time to share all your family favourites for shortbread, cookies, squares, cakes and tarts. 

Clean out your drawers for JEWELLERY (give to Alison) and CHRISTMAS THEMED RUMMAGE (think festive decorations and seasonal treasures). 

Do you have any unopened gifts that you can't use for the GIFTABLES table? 

BOTTLE Stall - If you are unfamiliar with this stall, this is how it works.  A hundred or more numbered bottles, jars and cans will be set out on a table.  After paying $2 you will draw out a numbered ticket from a bag and that number will identify the item that you walk away with. How can you help?  Please donate bottles (wine included), jars and cans (pop, beer etc.)  A popular item will be a clear glass jar filled with loose change.  Remember, the more items we receive, the more money will be donated to the church.  Please bring your bottles, cans and jars each Sunday morning so they can be safely stored at the church until November 30.

And we need people to make up a GIFT BASKET for the RAFFLE (past themes are Christmas Treats, Spa, Italian Gourmet, Movie Night...)  Please note that alcoholic items are not permitted as per the BC raffle license.

Let us know if you have FESTIVE CRAFTS like knitted items, linens or decorations. Drop your donations at the Welcome Table in the Lounge where there will be a sign up sheet for volunteers. Any questions, chat with Raili, Donna or Alison
