Hard to believe another year has passed and the bazaar was upon us again. A big thank you again to Gillian Matthewman for being this years convener and under taking all the responsibilities with doing such a large event like this. Her along with all the volunteers hard work and dedication made the event a resounding success. This year I remember to take some more photos during the set up as during the actual event I'm working the tea room and don't get to see all the people working to make this day such a success. Thank you though to all who came out and supported this event.

Souper Bowl was back with a bang and was a massive success. We had 9 entries of delicious soups. While each year we get a variety of new soups we also experience another first this year, we had a tie for the winning soup or soups in this case. Even though Father Lance wanted a fight for first place, the chefs of all the soups decided that both the names should go on the trophy as each were deserving of the prize of having their names immortalized on the trophy. So a big congratulations to Deacon Fred and Jud with their Squash Almighty Soup and Reverend Mark with his Minestrone Soup on winning this years Souper Bowl.

Christmas Bazaar 2022
The Christmas Bazaar was a huge success and you will have to take my word for it as I'm still remembering I need to take pictures. I have just a couple from the day before with setup happening. Thank you though to everybody who turned out both to help out and to support the church at the event.
