The annual UMW Fall Bazaar returns this fall to FUMC Allen. This event is sponsored by the United Methodist Women. In the early 1980s, all items sold at the bazaar were handcrafted by the ladies of the church. Over time, the UMW expanded this fundraiser to sell booth space to outside vendors.
The bazaar is a great place to get started with your Christmas and holiday shopping. More than 70 vendors will set-up throughout the building, selling handmade and commercially produced merchandise ranging from baby gifts, jewelry, aromatic candles, and home décor.

The St. Jude Craft Fair tradition began in 1985, initiated by the St. Jude Women’s Club. It has grown from 20 vendors to over 90 vendors, and has become Allen’s most anticipated craft fair.

Guests will enjoy shopping for hand crafted one-of-a-kind items such as baby clothes, quilts, floral wreaths and centerpieces, candles, jewelry and holiday décor.  In addition, the St. Jude craft kitchen is open to "re-fuel" hungry shoppers.  The event is renowned for its’ savory baked potato lunches shoppers will also find a variety of homemade soups, bread and desserts.  The Women’s Club attributes the craft fair’s success over the years to the great volunteers of St. Jude. Hundreds of parishioners are involved in the process, from baking to serving to advertising.  In the past 26 years, proceeds from the St. Jude Craft Fair have gone toward a variety of projects, some of which include remodeling the church kitchen, building the courtyard fountain and funding the purchase of a well in Mexico.  Come start your holiday with the tradition!

Paper Crafting Palooza Begins!

Exciting News!

Our paper crafting palooza is set to begin on September 14 from 7:00-9:00pm at Kim's house.  Please join us as we make our first 3-Dimensional projects, a unique 6-sided gift box fully decorated and adorned and cinched at the top as well as a coordinating gift tag.  You will walk away with these projects as well as a written tutorial explaining step by step how to recreate them at home because once you make one, you will want to make more and more.  The greatest thing about these gift boxes is that they are so multifunctional! They can house candy, jewelry, or even a small jar of honey or jam.  The sky is the limit, but after this, you won't want to gift wrap your small gifts again!

Join us on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 7:00pm at Kim's home:
5905 Silverton Court, Parker, TX 75002
Class Fee is $15 and the supply fee is $10
To RSVP: click HERE  by Sept. 5th.

We can't wait to see you there!
