The 18th annual St. Edward's Cookie and Craft Sale will take place on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 8 a.m. until sold out at St. Edward's Episcopal Church, 2453 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster. The church will offer more than 60 varieties of cookies for sale deli-style by the pound. Boxes will be supplied. Additionally, a wide array of handcrafted items will be available.

The annual cookie and craft sale benefits ministries that assist people in need, such as local food banks, COBYS, and anonymous addiction groups.

During the holiday season, St. Edward's also holds a Jesse Tree Project, which provides holiday gifts to children in need in the Lancaster area. The church will deliver gifts to over 40 children this year. St. Edward's also participates in gathering and delivering food to the Hempfield Area Food Pantry each month. The church's needle arts ministry provides prayer shawls to those experiencing a time of illness or crisis.
