Holiday Treasure Market is THIS Saturday!
- Join us to shop the market and support our church! All are welcome - so please feel free to bring friends & family with you!
-
If you have items to donate (used or new handmade things, books & baked goods), be sure to bring them to the church TODAY and TOMORROW (November 12 or 13) from 9 AM to 5 PM.
- Do have any extra time on your hands? Even the shortest period of time, can be helpful to the group of volunteers for this market. If you can spare any volunteer time, please stop by the church or contact Janet Ray at auntray88@gmail.com. ALL HELP is greatly appeciated.
Market questions? Please contact Janet Ray auntray88@gmail.com. Thanks!
What Does "Thrift" Mean?
For the market, we are receiving questions as to what it means when it says, "thrift." Think about what you might see at a thrift store or a garage sale. Items such as:
puzzles, games, bikes, vases, planters, glassware, dishes, decor, holiday items, books, pictures/artwork, linens, bedding, yard items, sports equipment, purses, backpacks, luggage, lamps, housewares, pet items, picture frames, office supplies, silk flowers, hats, shoes, purses, jewelry, DVD/CD/VHS/records etc.
All of those would be helpful donations for the market. Remember, all proceeds from the market help HPPC Mission Projects. This is a church-wide event, and every little bit helps.
All donated items must be clean, non-smoking, and free from rips, tears or stains. No clothes or large furniture please. All unsold kids items, vintage and thrift items will be donated at the end of the market. Unsold hand-made items, crafts and baked goods can be picked up by arrangement with Janet Ray.
THANK YOU HPPC!

Volunteers Needed for St. Ann’s Lunch on November 29

What Hamblen needs is two volunteers from 10:40-2pm on November 29 to cook/serve/cleanup at 2120 E. First Ave. We also provide six dozen desserts (cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc.), so we'd like 3 volunteers to deliver 2 dozen treats each. Call Dia with questions: 509-389-9858.

Earth Care Tip of the Week
Green space is critical infrastructure. And like all infrastructure, access to it isn't equally distributed. Lower-income neighborhoods consistently have less tree canopy, hotter temperatures, and worse health outcomes. Restoring forests, urban and otherwise, is one of the most accessible public-private acts of justice. Speak up for your neighbors.
