We'll be giving St James parishioners who would like to sell their handmade treasures at the Christmas Bazaar first option at space in the Parish Hall. Interested? Please contact Mary Ancker, 575- 640-7877 and leave a text or voicemail.
We know you all are going through your houses looking for gently used quality donations for the Bazaar! As an example, I am donating blank greeting cards and stationary, bookmarks, reading glasses, etc for the Bookstore. Don't forget we are looking for high-end or unique items for the Silent Auction (paintings, sculptures, antique, estate pieces and special items). Phala and Mary
