Limeville Church, 5783 Limeville Road, Gap, will host a spring craft fair on Saturday, April 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All proceeds from the event will support the church's children's ministry and the Limeville's Blessings store, a ministry of the church that offers free clothing, household items, children's toys, toiletries and more to people in need.

In addition to a sale of crafts, the craft fair will feature a silent auction and food items. "We will have beef barbecue, hot dogs, beverages and peanut butter eggs available for purchase at the craft show," said congregation member Melanie Shivery, who is organizing the event along with Danae Baldwin. "The peanut butter eggs will be homemade. They will be made by the Blessings store (volunteers) and children's ministry leaders."

Silent auction items were donated by local businesses, including the Hair Review in Gap, Sight & Sound Theatres in Ronks, Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Tiny Town in Lancaster and The Brass Eagle Restaurant in Gap. Shivery noted that select crafters will also donate items for the auction.

The craft fair will be set up downstairs in the church's fellowship hall. Crafts for sale will include leather jewelry and leather crafts, custom iced coffee cups, stuffed animals and crocheted items. "We also will have sewn crafts, resin jewelry, handmade candles, handmade salves and wood crafts," Shivery added.

In addition to organizing the church's fall and spring craft show, Shivery operates Limeville's Blessings, which opened at the church in July of 2022. Anyone in need of assistance is welcome to visit the store, and no proof of income or residency is required. Limeville's Blessings is currently open on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. People are permitted to visit the store to collect free items once per month.
