We need your help...

If you have any of these items, please put them aside and bring them to the church beginning November 13. There will be specially marked tables for them in Fellowship Hall.

Also, we need helpers to put the tent out in front of the Chapel for Twice Nice on Sunday, Nov.26 after worship.

Nice Twice

Our Christmas Fair is coming right up on Saturday, Dec. 2nd.  Sue Stauffacher is asking you to start gathering items for Nice Twice.  These would be items you don't need/want anymore that would be appropriate for Nice Twice (think tag sale).  We only ask that everything be clean and working.  Please hold your donations until after church on Sunday, November 26th.

We take household items that are clean and in working condition, kitchen items, small appliances, garden items, toys, puzzles, Christmas items, books (not textbooks), etc.    

We don't take clothing, electronics, exercise equipment, sports equipment, luggage, computers, TV's, baby equipment, textbooks, and large furniture.  If you are unsure, please ask or call Sue Stauffacher, 860-354-1274, prior to 7:00 p.m.

If you would like to be a helper the week prior to the Fair, and if you'd like to work the day of the Fair, please let Sue Stauffacher know.
