  • Harvest Fair 2014 Update

    What a beautiful day for the festival! It was a lot of fun being outdoors on this crisp fall day, seeing friends and family. On top of that, we made 32 pans of apple crisp and sold every last bit. Some people tell us that they only come to the fair to get our delicious apple crisp.  Thank you to everyone that helped to make it such a wonderful success.

  • Harvest Fair – Sept 20, 2014

    Can you believe Sept is here already! Wow! Summer flew by. But as the days shorten and the cool air settles in, we look forward to the most beautiful season in New England, the Fall. We are so lucky to have our church on the common, enabling us to share in all the fun filled festivities on Harvest Fair Day.

    A New England fall fair would not be the same without the wonderful aroma of warm apple crisp filling the air.  Especially the apple crisp baked at our church for our very own Apple Crisp & Ice Cream booth.  Folks say they look forward every year to having this treat.  We are told they are never disappointed with the results. And of course there will be always popular popcorn and soda at the stand set up on our church lawn.

    Friday afternoon/evening, Sept 19th, will find us busy in the kitchen baking apple crisp or setting up our booth on the common. If you can spare one, two hours or even all day, we would be thrilled to have you join us. The Harvest Fair is very well attended. We need to make a ton of apple crisp! Come and help us represent our fine church and taste the best apple crisp ever. With the long cold winter ahead of us and the high price of oil, every bit of fund raising will help offset the cost of heating our church.

  • Green Bean Challenge

     

     

     

    Thank you everyone

    We not only reached our goal but surpassed it by collected over 200 cans of beans.  Your generosity will be much appreciated by those who make and those who receive the Thanksgiving Baskets.

    More challenges to come!!!!!!!!!

     

     

     

    The Mulrains have challenged our church members to donate 150 cans of green beans to the Leicester Food Bank.  These cans will be used for the Thanksgiving baskets distributed to needy families.  They have personally pledged that whatever we don’t collect, they will make up the difference.  Lets  make a difference in our community, I am sure we can meet the challenge.
