Christmas Craft Bazaar The Community Outreach Circle of the Women’s Guild wants to thank you for your support of their efforts in the past in providing help to many area charities including House of Charity, Hope House, Cup of Cool Water, St Anne’s Children and Family Center, Second Harvest, Union Gospel Mission Veterinary Care Clinic, and YoungLives. This group has only one fundraising event each year and all the money raised at that event provides the resources for all of these good works! But they need your help this year. The annual Christmas Craft Bazaar and Bake Sale is fast approaching and they are in need of more handcrafted items for the sale. If you can help them with some of your handi-work they would really appreciate it. Lastly, they will need lots of home-baked goodies for the Bake Sale. Watch this space for particulars about that. If you have questions you can call either the parish office at

466-4991 or Denise Pilgeram at 509-830-8792. Thank you!!
