Current Market Needs

Muffins, breads, rolls, cookies, fudge, sweet treats ...oh my! Our "Fresh From the Oven" Market booth needs your help. The Market also has wonderful homemade cakes and pies available for sale each year. Many of the cakes and pies can be frozen and ready to serve for the holidays.

We need parishioners willing to share their talents and donate baked goods and pies. We will also accept items from bakeries!

We would love to have you volunteer to bring in some of your homemade favorites. Questions? Contact kreeves1210@aol.com or Sarah Ball Miller.
