Upcoming events at East Sumner Church

SUMNER — Pastor Howard MacMullen invites the public to join the Congregational Church of East Sumner in the second annual Camp and Carve Weekend on September 7 and 8.

The Streaked Mountain Wood Carvers will camp out in the church yard and display and work on their hand-carved items. Many of the items are for sale. On Friday evening there will be a campfire at about 6:30 p.m. as the beans are put in the ground.

On Saturday evening, the church will hold a traditional bean hole bean supper with hot dogs, brown bread, cole slaw and apple crisp. The cost is $7 per person with a family maximum of $20.

One of the raffle items will be a wooden hymnal with a rustic church (that resembles the Congregational Church) carved by Bob Perry to offset the cost of the new Church hymnals.

On Labor Day, the Church will have an entry in the Buckfield Community Days Parade and their annual pie table. Proceeds from the pie sale go to the sponsorship of a boy in Africa and a girl in Haiti as part of the Church's outreach missions.

New members will be taken in on September 16 during the morning worship. Worship is from 9 to 10 a.m. followed by refreshments and a sermon discussion. Sunday School is the same time. For more information, call Bill or Linda at 388-2263.
