3rd Annual Saint Paul Christkindlesmarkt - Vendors Wanted

We are looking for people who hand-craft items such as jewelry, pottery, woodworking, ceramics, artwork, specialty food and drink, and more.  We strive to keep our Christmas Market as authentically German as possible, so no direct sales companies are allowed.
The event will take place outdoors on Friday, December 9th from 4:00-8:00pm and Saturday, December 10th from 11:00am-7:00pm on the 40-acre campus of Saint Paul Lutheran High School in Concordia, MO.  Nearly 3,000 guests and 50 vendors were welcomed in 2021 and we're planning for an even bigger event this year.

Visit splhs.org/events for more information and the Vendor Application.  Have questions?  Email ChristmasMarket@splhs.org.

Trunk-or-Treat 

Dust off your astronaut and princess costumes! 

Ascension would like to host a trunk-or-treat activity for the congregation and neighborhood children. We need 10-30 volunteers to host by decorating your car trunk and handing out candy on Halloween in the church parking lot.

The commitment would be 1 planning session at the beginning of October and one afternoon/evening of decorating your car trunk (Halloween).
