The Harvest Moon Bazaar is coming!!
We need help in gathering special items for the Silent Auction. Do you own a business that could offer a service, item or gift certificate? Do you frequent a business that could offer a service, item or gift
certificate? Because businesses are much more likely to donate to regular customers than they are to strangers, you will be more successful as a petitioner at a business you use on a regular basis than an unfamiliar face from an unfamiliar church would be. We will be happy to supply a request letter on church letterhead that you can give to local businesses when asking for a donation.
Do you have a talent, skill, or gift that you could offer? Do you have some lovely, unused gifts in the closet from last Christmas? Are there things residing in your attic that would like a more active lifestyle?
Hmmm…
Gift baskets are also welcome collections for lovers of tea, pets, sports, gardening, health food…the list is endless! Do one by yourself or gather a group to help share the expense.
Contact either Sandie Campbell or Dyan Vaughan about your Silent Auction donation. Sandie can reached at 253-5685 or tupperbells@msn.com. Dyan can be reached at 297-7702 or dyansusan@aol.com.

The holiday quilt raffle, originally scheduled for last Sunday, was postponed because of the church cancellation. Instead, we will hold the raffle this Sunday, after church. Good luck!

On Saturday, October 13, twelve church members and two guests met at Newport Cruise Company’s Warren headquarters, boarding the Vista Jubilee for a water tour of most of the lighthouses on Narragansett Bay. The sun was bright and the air crisp – a beautiful day for our cruise.
We departed promptly at 11:00am and followed the winding channel from Warren to the open water of the Bay, turning toward Providence. Here our tour guide pointed out the first lighthouses – Nayatt Point Light and Conimicut Light in Barrington. Then we turned around and headed for Warwick Point Light and down the west passage of Narragansett Bay and past Quonset Point. Along the way, we were treated to a very nice buffet luncheon, while our ship continued on to Jamestown Bridge where we saw Plum Beach Light in North Kingstown and Dutch Island Light near Jamestown. Reversing course, we passed Conanicut Light in Jamestown. We had to detour around a sail boat race and pick up the east channel, continuing south under the Newport Bridge and by Fort Adams.
As we headed toward open water at the entrance of the Bay, we caught sight of Beavertail Light in Jamestown, as well as Castle Hill Light in Newport. We turned around and headed back up the Bay viewing Ida Lewis Light in Newport. Goat Island Light in Newport came next and then Rose Island Light in Newport Harbor. We were told that dates are available for anyone to sign on as lighthouse keeper there for a period of time. You pay for your board and are given a list of chores to do!
We passed Sandy Point Light on Prudence Island and headed for Mount Hope Bridge. Along the way we went by Hog Island Shoal Light and then Bristol Ferry Light. Having seen most of the lighthouses that are visible from the Bay, we headed back to port, as it was nearly 4:00pm!
We arrived at port with everyone in our group saying they had a great time and would like to do it again! We are only sorry that more of you could not join us for this fun day. We missed you and hope to see you at one of the upcoming fundraising events.

The Holiday Bazaar is quickly approaching and we need YOUR help gathering special items for the Silent Auction.
Do you have a talent, skill, or gift that you could offer? Do you own a business that would donate an item or gift certificate? Do you frequent a business from which you could request a donation? Do you have some lovely, unused gifts in the closet from last Christmas?
Hmmm…
Gift baskets are also welcome – collections for lovers of tea, pets, sports, gardening, health food… the list is endless! Parents of Church School children, please contribute to the chocolate lover’s gift basket with anything related to chocolate. (No Halloween themed candy, please.) Contact either Sandie Campbell or Dyan Vaughan about your donation. If you are unsure how to contact them, you can call the church office or use our online contact form and we will help get you in touch.
Thank you!

This year the 77th Annual Holiday Bazaar will be held on Saturday, November 3rd, 2007 from 10:00am-3:00pm, with a theme of “Harvest Moonâ€. By holding the bazaar in November, we are hoping to pull in early shoppers before all the local December fairs/events, and provide an opportunity for our church members to join in the fun. We all can then attend the wonderful holiday plays, musical entertainment, school and work parties, and still have time to finish our Christmas baking, shopping, caroling, etc.
Another beautiful quilt designed and made by Sandra Reynolds is being raffled. Tickets will be available soon.
The Women’s Guild will be selling hand made knit and crocheted items such as mittens, blankets, baby outfits, ornaments, cards…. This year they will also offer items handcrafted in other countries and purchased through SERV for resale here to benefit…. IF you are a crafter and you have pieces to donate to be sold please let us know.
Dan and Anita’s Country Store will be stocked and waiting. Perhaps you have some homemade jams/preserves, canned vegetables or fruits from your garden or pickles, relish, etc… Let us know.
Anne Archibald and Randi Mather are in charge of the plant area and are already getting items together.
Of course, no bazaar would be complete without the Lobster Luncheon. The ladies who work the luncheon each year faithfully have asked for some helpers. If interested in helping with any part of the Bazaar, please let Barbara Ringland or Margaret Arruda know.
Thank you.
