Christmas Mall on Main Street at Trinity Church

Holiday gifts and crafts, homemade soup and baked goods will be
featured at Christmas Mall on Main Street at Trinity United Church of
Christ, 532 E. Main St, Collegeville, on Saturday, Nov. 16, from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m.

A booth will be placed on the church lawn for the sale of snacks
and beverages on the weekend of the fair. “Benevolent Buns,” reminiscent of Collegeville’s
Depression-era Prosperity “Sticky
Buns,” will be available at 6 for $5 at the Fair or for pick up between noon
and 1 p.m. on successive Sundays through Dec. 8.  To order, please
call the church office at (610) 489-4223. 
   

On pre-Christmas weekends following the event, the booth will be
made available for area scout troops and service groups to sell wreaths and
other holiday merchandise.

Proceeds from the event will support the church’s service to the
local community and beyond, including the purchase of toiletries, food, school
supplies, holiday treats, and materials used to produce hats, mittens and
blankets for those in need as well as preemie caps for a local hospital. A
women’s shelter, a homeless center, Grace Bean’s Soup Kitchen, the Red Cross,
the Salvation Army, and other outreach centers are among the organizations
supported by Trinity Church’s service efforts.

Trinity Church also hosts Girl Scout and Boy Scout Troops, several
personal support groups and a Community Wednesday Lunch for Senior Citizens.
