LUMC Posts Art And Craft Market BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
ampeter United Methodist Church (LUMC), 1101 Village Road, Lancaster, will host an art and craft market on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The free event will feature over 25 vendors, a bake sale, a food café and a silent auction, and it will benefit the church’s missions committee. Among the many vendors will be Eleanor Delk, who will sell custom-made bowl covers, table runners and hot chocolate bombs; photographer Sharon Verkulien with several images from her excursion to the African wilderness; and fine artist Carol Dale, who will sell original paintings and prints. New vendors have been added to the lineup for this year’s art and craft market, and their items will include jewelry, quilts, birdhouses, hand-painted crafts and holiday wreaths. “I love seeing all of the different items the vendors make and their creativity,” said Mary Martz, coordinator of the art and craft market. “(The art and craft market) gets us all in the holiday spirit, as a lot of holiday items are available.” Additionally, local author JP Robinson will be present to sell and autograph his books. Robinson is the president of the Lancaster Christian Writers Association and writes books in the historical and political suspense genre. The art and craft market will also feature performances by three members of the church who provide the music for Sunday services - Nancy Snyder, Keith Roberts and Genevieve Karki. A bake sale will be held during the event, and all items will be either donated or made by members of LUMC. A food café will be available in the church’s all-purpose room, where church members will prepare and sell a variety of food and snacks. Throughout the market, a silent auction will be held, consisting of items donated by the vendors and local businesses and gift baskets prepared by the church. The art and craft market was started by LUMC’s missions committee seven years ago, and all proceeds traditionally benefit a cause selected by the committee; in the past, the group has supported specific needs of missionaries in the community and raised funds for Villa Fontane Church in Puerto Rico, which was heavily affected by Hurricane Maria. This year, all proceeds raised from the bake sale, food purchases and the silent auction will benefit Ukrainian refugees.
