Successful Spring Open House

Barnstead Community Market would like to thank area residents and visitors for a successful Spring Open House and Alpaca Saturday. Many people came through and asked our demonstrators about their crafts and their products. The alpacas had many small and big visitors, some who were interested in starting their own alpaca farms.

Five items were donated and raffled off.  Winners are CJ Harrington – stoneware mug, donated by Barndoor Gap Pottery; Tom and Jenny Malone – dried flower arrangement donated by “Always in Season”, Dory Warn and soap gift set donated by Mountain View Farm; Daniel Snell – alpaca scarf donated by Valemont Farm and Diana Osgood – $65.00 massage gift certificate donated by Lighthouse Massage Therapy. Items may be picked up during the market’s usual business hours.

The alpacas are usually visiting on Saturdays if the weather is suitable. The next Alpaca Saturday will be on Saturday, May 18 when owners Jim and Bonnie Kidder will be available to answer your questions about raising alpacas.

Barnstead Community Market is located at 13A Parade Road, Barnstead, NH 03218.  We are open on Fridays 1 - 7, Saturdays 9 - 4 and Sundays noon to 4. Visit us on www.barnsteadcommunitymarket.com

Taize Worship – An Ecumenical Evening Service In Barnstead

The Congregational Church of North Barnstead (CCNB) and the North Barnstead Women’s Fellowship invite you to attend a Taize Worship Service on Sunday, May 5th, at 5 p.m.

Taize Worship is an informal service with lots of quiet meditation time and beautiful music to help you enter into the presence of God.  There will be Scripture readings, prayers and the sacred silence and chants. The chants are short, containing words from the Psalms or other Scripture. Sung communally and repetitively, they become a unifying prayer and contribute to inner stillness.

Taize worship began 72 years ago in the small French village of Taize.  It has been spread world-wide by people seeking to promote reconciliation and peace and justice in the places they live and work.  Taize, France draws over 100,000 people each year, many between the ages of 17 and 40. 

This peaceful service offers a time of worship for those looking for a quiet meditative time as well as those not available on Sunday mornings. CCNB is located at 504 North Barnstead Road, just above Peacham Road. Come join us. All are welcome!
