Emmanuel Church "Lawn Fete"

Emmanuel
Church, 42 Dearborn St., Newport, RI will hold a Summer Lawn Fete on Saturday,
July 12, 2014 from 9 am to 3 pm.  Emmanuel Church, under the leadership of
Jackie Breen, is reviving one of the church's first fundraisers.  On August 7 & 8, 1854 the Rev. Darius
Brewer and three women from Trinity Church  started what became our annual
"Lawn Fete" to raise funds to build our Upjohn church.  The
first Lawn Fete was held at Ocean House at the intersection of Bellevue and
Pelham, next to what was the Atlantic House (which is now the Elks Club).

 The “Lawn Fete”
on July 12th will include a raffle, local vendors, plant table, lunch of
burgers, hotdogs, chips, clam chowder, & lemonade, children’s games, dunk
tank, old fashioned tea room, Potter League Animal Shelter Booth, face painting
& much more!  Proceeds from this
event to benefit outreach programs and provide funding for a wide range of
assistance programs within our Aquidneck Island Community.  Non-perishable food items will be collected
& donated to Salvation Army, Newport, RI.  Free parking is available in the church’s
parking lot on Dearborn Street. For more information call Jordan Sleeper in the
church office at 401-847-0675 or admin@emmanuelnewport.org.
