Holiday Lunch and Mini Bazaar

     The holiday lunch and bazaar is an off-shoot of an event that has been going on for years and years at Burley FCC. At it’s peak, the then “Harvest Dinner” was serving several hundred people and conflicted with the dates that several other churches offered similar community events. Today, the meal is still a time of getting together and breaking bread with friends during the holidays. The meal is for a free will offering. The weather was not in our favor this year, but the brave and hearty who ventured out still enjoyed our time together serving soups and cinnamon rolls.
   The mini bazaar began in part to sell jewelry, skirts, and other handmade items made in the DR Congo to support the African ministry Hearts of Cheer. All proceeds from the sale of those items go directly to the ministry. Almost all of the rest of the items from the bazaar either go to support the Africa ministry directly, or to BFCC's Christian Women's Fellowship. CWF meets every third thursday of the month at 1:00 at Burley First Christian Church! Join us!
     
   Many of our church members spent time and effort making beautiful crafts, holiday gifts, hats, washcloths, ornaments, decor items, and more to sell at the bazaar!
