The St. James UMC Circle of Hope supports local missions at the annual fall bazaar.

06/09/2026

Did you know that the Circle of Hope is already working every Tuesday to create the “made just for you” items that we sell at our November bazaar?

St. James is blessed with talented members and talented friends of our church who give of themselves each year to make the bazaar a success.

What shows love and friendship more than giving a handmade gift during the holidays? Our members work tirelessly to create these one-of-a-kind items each year.

Remember, the money raised from our bazaar is used during the year to help groups and individuals here in the Shoals and beyond as we show Christ’s love through our help.

Come see us on November 21 and help us share this love by purchasing items at the bazaar.

Angel on tin from the bazaar five years ago! The angel was purchased by one of our bazaar friends and hangs on the side of her home…..Guess what the Circle of Hope did today? We began meeting every Tuesday to start working on our projects for the 2026 bazaar! The proceeds from the bazaar allows us to help local, state, and worldwide needs!

We have already helped several groups the first part of 2026……..

We need your continued support for the St James Circle of Hope…..mark your calendars for November 21, 2026……..

Did you get one of the bottles of homemade vanilla extract at the bazaar? We sold all of the bottles we had made in the first hour of our bazaar! This week we are making it for our 2026 bazaar. In November it will have the full rich taste of vanilla. It will be ready for all your holiday baking……

It’s January but we are already preparing and thinking about our 2026 bazaar. We hope you have us on your calendars, too!

I know the season is past, but I wanted to share this photo from one of friends who bought this painted tin and put on her porch rocker! We can proclaim Joy to the World at any time during the year and each and every day of the year!!!! We love to see how our friends use our creations in their homes……

Merry Christmas Eve! We are blessed with beautiful weather for Christmas here in North Alabama. I noticed that water levels are down and I wanted to remind our friends that the Circle of Hope can use some driftwood as we begin to think about 2026 bazaar. We use the driftwood for the beautiful trees, for table decorations and even some small pieces for our projects. Now is a good time to gather the driftwood so it can dry out before we use it. Keto is in mind when you are out on the river or creek banks!!

Merry Christmas from St James Circle of Hope! As we reflect on 2025, we want to thank our friends and family who support us all year and especially at our annual bazaar.

We enjoy creating our crafts and offering them to the community. Our baked goods and other food items are second to none. We are already planning for 2026……

Remember the large driftwood tree that was for sale at the bazaar? Here it is on the front porch of its owner! Take off the red bow and ornaments and this can become a permanent fixture on the porch…..decorate it for other holidays, too……

I hope friends that shopped with us last Saturday found the insert in your bag when you checked out. On one side we listed the missions that the Circle of Hope supported in 2025 through November. On the other side you will find the listing of the opportunities available to worship with us during the Advent season! Come see us during this Christmas season…
