FAMILY BAZAAR Each year on the first Saturday in November, our church holds a Family Bazaar to raise funds to support our congregation's Outreach and Sunday School Programs. Below is an outline of needs to support the Bazaar. We hope that you will be able to support the Bazaar by donating to one of the tables, having lunch in the Lunch Room, or coming to look, find and buy on the day of the Bazaar.

MWUC Bazaar Bulletin 2009
The Bazaar is rapidly approaching (November 7th). It is time to start thinking about your bazaar donations. They can be dropped off at the Church starting October 15th. Above, there is a list of the different groups and their needs. Please look these over. There may be something that you could do or offer which would help tremendously. Please contact our Administrative Assistant in the church office who will relay your message to the contact person. In addition to the above, there is an antique and collectibles section, a knitting and sewing table, additional crafts from the Evening Craft Group, the jams and jellie table as well as a plant table. The Silent Auction has been a great draw in the past and we would like to surpass last year’s success. To do this, we require your active participation which will provoke active bidding. If you have a corporate affiliation, perhaps you would consider donating a Gift Certificate for an item, discount towards goods or service to the auction. Perhaps you have an item or two which may be suitable to be auctioned, please indicate the estimated value or indicate a ‘minimum’ bid. You may wish instead to be more creative and prepare a theme basket. Above is a list of suggested items needed for Theme Baskets. Please read through the list and gather items which would fit one of these theme baskets. The themes on the list are merely suggestions, why not create your own theme. Be Generous and Creative! If you do gather together contributions for the baskets, please leave them in the Church office clearly marked with your name and the basket theme before Wednesday, October 28th. Finally, there is the “Children’s Corner and Snack Bar” located in Gibson Hall (with the Baking Goodies!) and the library. The snack bar will include Hot Dogs, chips, coffee/juice/soft drink. Be sure to drop by! Please help make our Bazaar a great Success! By helping us, you are helping us help others!
