🍂 Bazaar Updates: Join Us on Saturday, November 14!

Our festive Annual All Souls Bazaar is coming up on Saturday, November 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We can’t wait to gather for a day filled with fellowship, fun, and community spirit. The Bazaar is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we are deeply grateful for everyone who has already stepped forward to help. If you’re looking for a way to join in, there are many opportunities to get involved!

We invite you to read more below and visit our Bazaar page at allsoulsbangor.com/bazaar regularly for updates.

🫶Become a Bazaar Sponsor

Construction can’t stop the All Souls Bazaar! Even with smaller space available this year, our amazing Bazaar Committee and booth chairs are already planning (and making adjustments) to bring you and the community all the seasonal favorites you look forward to every year.

WE NEED YOU TO BE PART OF IT!

The Bazaar is an important fundraiser for All Souls, but it’s also much more: it’s one of those special occasions when everyone in our church family can play a part.

Becoming a Bazaar Sponsor is a wonderful way to support this beloved tradition—even if your busy schedule doesn’t allow you to make something to contribute or volunteer at the Bazaar itself.

Your $50.00 sponsorship helps cover the behind-the-scenes costs—from breakfast and lunch preparation to baking ingredients and craft supplies. The more expenses we cover through sponsorships, the more Bazaar proceeds can go directly to All Souls programming.

🖼 Silent Auction

The Silent Auction is always a highlight—and a major contributor to our fundraising efforts. We welcome donations of antiques, collectibles, art, jewelry, event tickets, gift certificates, and other high‑quality items that spark excitement and bidding.

🥫 Pantry

Our Pantry team is seeking fruit preserves and pickles—especially pickles, which are always in high demand! If you’re able to make extra jars to donate, they would be greatly appreciated.
