Do You Love Bells? Then We Need You!
It isn’t often that we have two openings for new ringers. If you love the sound of handbells, can count (reading music is not a requirement), love the challenge of making music as a team (each ringer plays two notes), can commit to weekly Tuesday night rehearsals and playing once every 4-6 weeks in Sanctuary worship, want to make music and praise God through ringing handbells, please contact me so I can answer your questions, and join us!
• Ukulele/BUGS – Thursdays (1 pm) and Sundays (11:45 am)
Leader: Dick Nagaoka

3. Blaine Benefit Bazaar

Saturday, October 4, 11 am – 6 pm

The summer is almost over, and that means the Blaine Benefit Bazaar is on the way… and will be here soon! There are of course going to be many of the favorites you have come to know and love so well, but also some new things that will be taking place this year that we are really excited about. And we hope that you will join us for this!

Farmer’s Market @ Blaine Bazaar
This year, we will open up the Social Hall for Bazaar activities, as we have invited local crafters, and are bringing in fresh produce, plants and flowers to create a Farmer’s market atmosphere for your enjoyment. Also our delicious homemade apple and blueberry pies will be sold up in the Social Hall as well.

FYI…. Take Out in the Webb Room this year!
This year we have moved our Take Out to the Webb Room… please share that info with your family and friends who are interested in Take Out. This will bring together the Take Out with the Farmer’s Market and Pie Sale!

Entertainment and Fun to Bless You!
Again this year we will have a variety of cultural entertainment on Lee Activity Center stage for those who will be dining in with us. Also new this year…. we will have a Children’s Cultural Craft area lead by our friends at the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington (JCCCW).

Ticket Packets were mailed out this last week….
If you did not receive a packet and would like one, please contact the Church office, or talk with Pam Haruta.

Take a Bazaar flyer to the places you frequent.
The best way for us to share our Bazaar with others is to get the word out! Please take a flyer (or two) to business you frequent and ask (yes, please ask!) if it would be possible to post the flyer for your Church. Thanks!

Come join our volunteer workforce!
We hope that you will add your presence to our talented and committed workforce! There is a place for everyone! Sign-ups will be coming very soon, so we hope that you will consider joining us in this way!
