It’s time again for the First Churches Annual Fair and Raffle, which will be held on Saturday, November 21.   **Buy Apple Pies** Buttery crust, warm and sweet cinnamon, and tart apples.  Nothing says Church Fair and Fall better than the taste of our home made apple pies.  Stop by the fair, either inside or out, and try a sample then take a pie home.  Only $12 for a small pie **Participate in our raffle** The best kept secret in Northampton!  Buy tickets to win a chance at one of our amazing local prizes.  Get a head start of Christmas gifts or treat yourself.  **Check our our jewelry and crafts** So many of our talented church members and friends have spent hours crafting beautiful items over the last year.   Come to the fair and appreciate their art–hats, scarves, stuffed toys, tea towels, blankets, decor, cards and more.  At the jewelry table you can peruse vintage and costume pieces; you just might come across a rare find. **Peruse our attic treasures!** Antiques and pieces of nostalgia.  Explore what unique items have been hiding in our member’s attics. **Children's table** This year our  Church youth will be selling books, puzzles and games.  They’ve been working hard on a craft you can make too.   All proceeds from this table will go to Dakin Humane Society. Our annual Fair and Raffle supports First Churches’ efforts to serve the Northampton community as a center for social, justice and arts activities where hundreds of people gather to hold meetings, discussion groups, dance, and sing. Hundreds of people from the community use our historic building each week. Numerous community groups and organizations meet here, including Cathedral in the Night, a free community yoga class, several meditation groups, a free Friday Community Breakfast program, and five 12-step recovery groups. Your participation in our Fair will help us to continue our mission to serve as Northampton’s community meetinghouse.
