Wesley United Methodist Church (UMC), located at 40 W. Main St., Strasburg, has posted its schedule of upcoming events.

The church will welcome the community for a Vendor and Craft Fair on Saturday, Nov. 29, as part of the Strasburg Is Stars Hollow Coffee Crawl and Retail Round-Up Celebration. In addition to Wesley UMC, other organizations and small businesses in town are planning to participate in the coffee crawl, inspired by the small-town spirit of "Gilmore Girls."

For the Vendor and Craft Fair, the church's fellowship hall will be filled with 20 tables offering a wide variety of handcrafted and homemade goods. Shoppers will be able to browse jewelry, photography, wood creations, candles, succulents, children's craft kits, baked goods, health products, fairy lights, and more. In addition to holiday shopping, visitors can enjoy a homemade lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Additionally, the church will be filled with the aroma of freshly baked cookies and the joy of Christmas memories when it holds its annual cookie sale and Christmas Pageant Memorabilia Exhibit on Saturday, Dec. 6, in the fellowship hall. The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Starting at 8 a.m., visitors will have the opportunity to purchase a wide assortment of homemade cookies, including the church's old-fashioned sand tarts, a community favorite that tends to sell out quickly. Organizers encourage attendees to arrive early in order to obtain the beloved treats.

Alongside the sweet treats, guests can enjoy a special exhibit that will highlight the church's Christmas pageant, a live retelling of the Nativity story that has been a treasured tradition at Wesley UMC for more than 60 years.

The display will feature scrapbooks, photos, costumes, props, and a collection of Nativity sets contributed by church members and local residents.

This year 's live Christmas pageant performances will take place on Friday, Dec. 12, and Saturday, Dec. 13, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 14, at 4:30 p.m. A freewill offering will be received.
