Share Your Creativity at the Madison Methodist Church Craft Sale!
Our annual Madison Methodist Church Craft Sale is coming up November 1, 3 & 4, and we would love your help making it a success!
Have something creative to share? We are looking for handmade and homemade items such as jewelry, wood crafts, sewn items, decorative pieces, pottery, baked goods and frozen foods.
Please bring your price-marked items to the Atrium on Halloween between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. or before early church on November 1.
Questions? Please contact Sue Lauderdale at 601-674-2996 or Sandra Grissom at 601-862-8106.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make the Craft Sale a success in the past! Over the last two years, volunteers from Faithbuilders, New Spirit and Daily Disciples have helped cover these needs. We would also love to have volunteers from our other adult classes join us this year.
Whether you can donate something you've made, lend a hand during the sale, or help with setup and cleanup, thank you for being part of this special event!
