BAKE SALE

We run the granddaddy of Bake Sales!  You won’t find a better range of delicious sweets beautifully displayed — unless you’re in a New York City bake shop.  They sell homemade pies, cakes, cookies, candy, and much more.  Grab something in between shopping and take something yummy home to your family!

If you would like to whip something up for the bake sale, contact Jane at 610-381-6176 or mimimrtn@ptd.net.

FOOD SALES      

Our church “chefs” sell delicious food & drinks during the QOP Flea Market.  After hours of shopping, you’ll need to re-fuel.  So don’t pack anything, and have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with us.  A covered area with tables and chairs will be available for your comfort.
