The yearly bazar in our church Segeltorps Kyrka took place today. Usually it is held the first Saturday of December, but for some reason they decided to move it. The ladies working for the event were quite worried not many would come since they couldn’t really have the same X-mas theme as they usually do since it took place so early. But, I believe it was about as popular and crowded as it always is.
All the profit they make are donated to a charity of some sort – this year the money goes to the Church of Swedens’ work in preventing genital mutilation of the women in Tanzania and the Scandinavian Mission for children in supporting orphanages in the Philippines.
So I am happy to help and give them a few hours of my time, enjoy the pleasure in being a part of this important cause and also buy some lottery tickets and a coffee.
The day started with a short 15 min mass in church singing a few carols and listening to the priest saying a few words. I should go more often to church – I really appreciate that moment. I have so many fond memories after almost 20 years singing in their choirs. Maybe I should start again. It gave me such joy.
– as I see it..
Thank you for helping us today so I could get a break and have some coffeee. I think the picture is before the start. It went OK and we managed to collect about 30.000 SEK which we can send to people in need. Just call me if you want company to church.
