2025 St. Paul’s Choir Gingerbread, Bake Sale & Christmas Baskets

Funds raised from our Gingerbread-and-more sale go to the Choir Fund at St. Paul’s, managed by the Choir Council. Funds received this year will support scholarships for the Lincoln residency and our choir Christmas party.

We’re preparing for our annual Gingerbread, Baskets, and Bake Sale on December 6th! Every choir member is expected to participate, because this is one way we earn money for our trips and choir events.

What’s happening now: Gathering Candy. There are still a few Candy Wishlist slips left on the sign-in table. Take one or two that you fancy, purchase that candy, and deliver back to Fredrica or Sharon by November 19th.

And it’s time to sign up for Mixing Day (Nov 21st), Baking Day (Nov 22nd), Assembly Day (Dec 4th), and Decorating Day (Dec 5th). Signup sheets will be out on Sunday.

If you have questions, please contact Fredrica: bfester -at- swbell -dot- net.
