St. Luke's Christmas Tea and Sale, Saturday, December 1st

One of the most festive events in the pre-Christmas tradition in Chester is the St. Luke's Christmas Tea and Sale. Saturday, December first, Willard Hall will be filled with the sounds, smells and surprises of Christmas. Beginning at 11 a.m. through 3 p.m., there is something for everyone.

Delicious light sandwiches and scrumptious sweets cover the tea table where your choices of coffee, tea and hot spiced cider are poured by a hostess.

You fill your plate (more than once) for $6 and join friends at inviting little tables festively decorated to eat and chat. Little hostesses come by with trays of goodies. Beforehand or after lunch, you can shop at Grandma's Attic for little collectibles, check out and choose handmade ornaments and Christmas decorations made throughout the year by the ladies crafting group, and take home some specially baked goodies from the Bake Table. There are always pleasant surprises like quilted pieces, painted items, candles and other crafts and art.
