Our third annual Arts and Crafts Fair is just two months away and we have already received applications for more than half of our open spaces!! Traditionally, we have received most requests during the last month, so we feel we are in very good shape!

Vendors Wanted: If you know of anyone wanting space to sell their crafts at this year’s event, please have them contact us ASAP. Applications and information are also now available on the St. Philip’s web site: www.stphilip-sv.org

Among the craft artists, we will again feature several St. Philip’s members: Nancy Connor, Janet Duncan, Val Jackson, Ying Liang and Donna Seelbach.

This event has been an excellent fund raiser for St. Philip’s. We not only receive a booth fee and 15% of the crafter’s proceeds, but proceeds from our very popular Bake Sale, (pre-ordered) Christmas Wreaths and Raffle have made the Craft Fair very successful.

We will also continue our tradition of displaying quilts from St. Philip’s members and friends in the Sanctuary and breezeway.

The event would not happen at all, without the members of St. Philip’s! We depend on you for a few hours of your time to help before, during or after the event.

Please sign up to help on Sundays. Volunteer Jobs are:

· Work in a booth (wreath sales, bake sale, etc.)

· Provide item(s) for the Bake Sale

· Checkout/Ticket Sales table

· Help with distributing posters, signs

· Donate an item for the Raffle

· Lend a quilt for the day to be displayed.

We look forward to your help! Please call Vicky Granger-Jones, Nancy Jackson or Julie Levy if you would like to sign up.

Be sure to pick up some of our flyers in the Church lobby to pass on to your friends and family. Also, if you can post some around town, that would be very much appreciated!!

Nothing says “I love you” like the gift of food. And since cookies are just about everyone’s favorite treats, what better way to say “I love you” than with cookies? Well, there is a better way, one that will keep on giving and that includes that fresh-from-the-oven cookie aroma (sometimes that’s even better than eating the cookies)! We’re talking cookie mix in a jar!

We’ll be doing a group project October 9 after the 10 am service to make up some cookie mixes in jars to sell at the Harvest and Holiday Fair on October 16. Many hands will make light work as we do it in assembly line fashion. Plan now to join in the fun and save that date on your calendar!! Look for sign-up sheets later this month and/or contact Sara DeRouchey for more information.

Antique & Collectibles Faire

All Saints is organizing an Antique & Collectibles Faire for October 2, 10 am - 4 pm. If you have items which you would like to get out of the garage or attic, we will be happy to come & pick them up. We’re looking for things that are antique, old, or collectible (this covers a pretty wide range!). If you have questions, give us a call.

We have space for 100 vendors at $50 a space (deals possible from our sister parishes). We will have complete advertising coverage.

The Faire will include live music, a barbecue, and a children’s game area. It’s going to be a lot of fun, so we wanted you to be the first to know.

Blessings,

Dinner Groups

The fellowship small dinner groups will resume after the Harvest Fair. The dates are: Oct. 23, Oct. 30, Nov. 6 and Nov. 13. Please select all possible dates to ensure variety in the groups. If you have changed your e-mail address please let me know as I will be handling this from Vermont. We will return Nov. 4. These are wonderful occasions and if there are some of you wanting to participate for the first time or again after a lapse, please let me know. I will e-mail each one of you reminders.

We will be visiting Halifax, Nova Scotia next month and plan to see St Paul’s there, the oldest Anglican church in North America still having services (1650).

Bon appetite! Looking forward to returning to St Philip’s.
