Holiday Market Craft Fair

Lord of Life Lutheran Church is busy preparing for its eighth annual Holiday Market Craft Fair, which will be held at 2801 Frederica Road on Saturday, December 3, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The annual event hosts over thirty vendors, both indoor and outdoor, who sell quality handmade wares including pottery, artwork, glasswork, jewelry, baby and children’s gift items, cute things for pets, cement outdoor art, holiday items, aprons and kitchenware, one of a kind totes, knitted and crocheted items, and many other interesting gift ideas. Nancy Day, children’s book author, will be available to sign her books. “Flavor of Georgia” winner Rockingham Pecans will sell their fried pecans and candies and The Blueberry Barn, from Alma, will be at the event for their third year to sell a variety of blueberry products. In addition, the church will host a bake sale and used book sale. Coffee and breakfast snacks and lunch will be served. Outstanding raffle prizes include restaurant gift cards, specialty gift baskets and a hand-crafted woodwork item donated by Paul Speich, member of the Golden Isles Woodworkers. Door prizes, donated by our vendors, are awarded every hour. Committee chairperson, Renée Evenson Balka says, “It’s hard to believe this is our eighth annual Holiday Market Craft Fair. We are so proud that our fair has become well-known in our community. Our neighbors throughout the Golden Isles look forward to this event. We are also proud that every year we have returning vendors along with new ones to showcase their handcrafted and specialty items. We always provide shoppers with a wide variety of gift ideas for the holidays. Santa Claus spends the day so this is a great photo op for families. We are thankful for our many volunteers who work hard to make this an enjoyable day for everyone and we look forward to welcoming our visitors.” Proceeds benefit Lord of Life Youth Camp Scholarship Fund and other church, social ministry, and outreach programs in our community. Pastor Bonnie Lanyi says, “Last year was my first year as Lord of Life's new pastor to experience this fun event. Funds were raised to help send our young people to camp. They came home from camp with many stories about how their lives were changed for the better in significant ways. Also, funds were used to care for people in our community who found themselves in dire need. God is so good and provides. This is one way we are able to reach out and serve those in need, and impact the community in positive ways. Thank you to all who support this event!” For additional information call 912.638.4673.
