Plum Puddings          

300 delicious Plum Puddings were made at St. Stephen’s Church in late November.  A number were sold at last weekend's Church Bazaar but 170 remain in the refrigerator - more than can be purchased by our own parishioners.  There is a list with phone numbers of more than 250 people who have purchased Plum Puddings from St. Stephen's in previous years.  We are looking for volunteers willing to call these individuals to ask if they might want to purchase Plum Puddings again this year.  We are also looking for people able to deliver these puddings once sold.  If you are able to help, please contact Gretchen at

 902-275-4058.
