St. Stephen's Weekly Touchstone
The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost   
September 29, 2013


 
 
The banner is up -- Our Plant Sale, Bake Sale, Thrift Shop Sale is this Saturday!


In preparation for our plant sale, our resident horticulturalist, Ruth Clausen, presided over a wonderful wreath making session after church on Sunday, with guidance for neophytes and plenty of supplies for old hands to produce lovely arrangements.



The sale takes place this Saturday at 10 am.  We will be setting up the tables on Friday afternoon at 5 pm.  All hands on deck!

  
On Saturday we need salespeople AND cashiers!  Please contact Ruth at [email protected] or Charity Lunder at [email protected] to volunteer your time.
