GOOD TO KNOW

 

The Gallery is St. B's own spot to stock up on carefully curated books, art and jewelry made by parishioners, Thistle Farms items, cards and more. It's the perfect place to find a gift! The gallery is to the left as you enter the gym and is open on Sundays before and after worship services as well as Monday through Friday from 10 to 2. 

 

If you are looking for something in particular, Allison can order books that aren’t already in stock and she always has tootsie rolls at the ready to share with any children who stop by.

 

 

THINGS OF NOTE

 

Over the years, the closets of Wallace Hall have accumulated all kinds of items the church hasn't been using. Please take anything you might want or need from the table in the gym on Sunday. You just might find a treasure!
