What is Happening This Week

4/18 – 4/24/16

Hello Church,

  

-Arts and Craft Fair, April 23 from 9 am to 4 pm in the Covenant Center and parking lot Butterfly

Over 50 vendors will have booths selling everything from homemade table linens, pottery, soaps, garden accessories and photography. There will also be some direct sale vendors like Scentsy and Jamberry. Holy Covenant will be selling lunch items and hosting a bake sale.

You are invited to come to the craft fair and to invite your friends and neighbors to join you. This is a perfect way to introduce HCUMC to people who have never been here. Invite them to come and look over the booths, and then to enjoy lunch at the Covenant Café. The menu will include pulled pork sandwiches, wraps and a few other delicious items made by our own Dave Rathbun and Ed Bayard.

If you have a neighborhood newsletter or email group, please let your neighbors know about the craft fair. Go to the Facebook event at  https://www.facebook.com/events/1721559168111699/ and share it, repost it, or invite friends and co-workers to attend.
