Luzerne County Fair

IT'S FAIR TIME AGAIN!

Last year, the Episcopal Churches in Luzerne County joined forces for Project:Presence. Together, we manned a booth at the Luzerne County Fair, handing out balloons and other goodies and letting our neighbors know The Episcopal Church is there for them.

Those of us who were there were all in agreement: we had a lot of fun interacting with visitors and making new friends from other parishes, and it was such a joy to see all those red and blue balloons with the Episcopal shield flying high over the heads of fairgoers.

This year, the fair runs from September 7-11, and you can read more about it here. After the great inaugural effort we had last year by Project:Presence initiators from St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral, this year's event will be co-chaired by Trinity West Pittston and Prince of Peace in Dallas.

All clergy and laity from the Luzerne County parishes are welcome to join us in handing out balloons and other goodies and sharing fellowship with our neighbors and each other. We'd especially like to invite all of you from outside Luzerne County to stop by, say hello and join in the fun and fellowship.

If you would like to sign up to help or have questions about this fun event, please email janineungvarsky@msn.com.

We look forward to seeing you at the fair!
