"From the soup luncheon to the raffle of a spice postage stamp quilt with matching shams and a silent auction, we anticipate a wonderful day of fun and Christian fellowship," said Pennie Sifly, bazaar chairwoman. "The bazaar rooms will open at 11 a.m. Luncheon will begin at 11:30 a.m. The event will close at 1:30 p.m. with the announcement of the quilt raffle and silent auction winners."

She said the list of frozen dishes that will be available at the bazaar include broccoli corn bread, pumpkin bread, hash brown casserole, sausage breakfast casserole, ham delights, chicken tetrazzini and more.

One of the most popular rooms is the Country Kitchen, which sells homemade cookies, pies, cakes and candy along with preserves, jams and bread. Items in Attic Treasures will include those that are both new and gently used. The Christmas room will feature hand-crafted items such as Christmas ornaments, wreaths and other decorations, art and crafts, and a book corner. The silent auction will feature jewelry, an old-fashioned Nativity scene, artwork, Fisher-Price toys and surprise treasures.

Sifly said the soup and corn bread luncheon has increased in popularity over the years, and the $6 meal includes soup, corn bread, homemade dessert and tea.

Proceeds from the bazaar will be disbursed to various causes such as York Place, Cooperative Church Ministries of Orangeburg, Samaritan House, Council on Aging, Habitat for Humanity and other charitable organizations.
