On Dec. 7, the Woodstock Church of the Epiphany hosted its much-anticipated annual Christmas Bazaar, bringing together the community for a day filled with holiday cheer and tradition.

The event featured a wide variety of vendors offering unique and handcrafted items, perfect for gift-giving or personal keepsakes. The baking table was a highlight, brimming with homemade treats such as candy, preserves, shortbread cookies, and seasonal favorites like cabbage rolls, shepherd’s pies, and cheese balls. Shoppers also enjoyed browsing a curated collection of jewelry and attic treasures, adding a touch of sparkle and nostalgia to the occasion.

Attendees were treated to a delicious homemade lunch. The menu included a choice of hearty soup and a sandwich, followed by a sweet finale of traditional Christmas pudding or apple crisp, all complemented by tea or coffee.

At just $10.00, it was an irresistible offer that drew a crowd of hungry holiday shoppers. The Christmas Bazaar provided an opportunity for the community to come together and served as an important fundraiser for the church’s outreach programs. The festive atmosphere and the generosity and support of attendees created a memorable start to the holiday season. Thank you to everyone who joined, volunteered, and contributed to making this year’s bazaar a heartwarming success. They look forward to welcoming you back next year for more holiday magic.
