The crafters at the Nazarene Church in Lisbon Falls are cleaning out their stash of supplies just in time for the fall and Christmas crafting season. 

We’ve got fabrics for quilting and crafts, yarn for knitting and crocheting, wool for rug braiding, stamps for all your card-making, and more. We dug deep in our sewing rooms and knitting baskets to find all kinds of crafting accessories! For more information, call me at 376-7962. — Laural, Lisbon Falls

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Come join the fun as members of the Lisbon United Methodist Church at 14 School St. in Lisbon Falls welcome fall with our Hello Fall festival Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

You will need to commit to attending every class. The fee is $10 for the workbook supplied for the class. For more information and to sign up, please call 753-6677 or email robina.orourke@maine.edu. – Robina, no town

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish is planning its 50th Anniversary Christmas by the Lake Fair on Nov. 23 at St. Philip Church, 2365 Turner Road in Auburn.
