First Church of Christ in Suffield hosts holiday sales Nov. 7 to fund meal packing

SUFFIELD - First Church of Christ in Suffield will host a set of holiday sales on Saturday, Nov. 7, as part of the town-wide Christmas in Suffield fair, according to the church's online events calendar. The church lists the fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at its building at 81 High Street.

The church's fair listing says all proceeds from its own booths will go to Rise Against Hunger, a meal-packaging effort. The country store listing says the church plans a packaging event to assemble more than 10,000 meals for families in need.

The day includes a country store with local meats, produce, jams and jellies; a holiday bake sale; and a raffle of themed gift baskets, with tickets sold at the fair and winners drawn at 3 p.m. Ticket holders do not need to be present to win, the raffle listing says. An Attic Treasures tag sale of vintage and donated items runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with free admission.

The church also holds a book discussion of the novel "Clear" by Carys Davies on Wednesday, Nov. 11, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., open to all. Readers should confirm times with the church at 860-668-7223.
