Church fete

Ettalong Baptist Church is holding its annual fete on Saturday, May 7, from 8am to 1pm to raise money for local and overseas missions.

The fete will feature traditional wares including homemade cakes, fancy goods, morning teas, hamburgers, clothing, local entertainment, children's toys, a bouncing castle, pony rides, and local art.

Ms Sue McConaghey, who helps out with pre-loved clothing, said she saw regulars who came up from Western Sydney each year, to grab a bargain, eat a hamburger and enjoy the atmosphere of a fete where the stall-holders are having as much fun as the patrons.

Senior pastor Rev Phil Brown said Ettalong Baptist Church supported charitable work and local churches all over the world.

The fete gave the church the opportunity to join with the local community and make a difference.

"This fete is a special event for the whole community.

"We hope that people enjoy our fete and that it gives an opportunity for them to meet us and discover some of our other activities as well," he said.

With inquiries, phone the church on 4343 1237.
