St. John's United Church of Christ, Howertown, will hold a Holiday Happenings fundraiser Sunday, March 17, at the church, located at 22 Atlas Road.

The event is sponsored by the senior choir. Vernell Hawkins, the church's organist, is the Holiday Happenings coordinator.

Groups of church members are asked to sponsor and decorate one of the 12 monthly tables – for example, January's table has a New Year's Eve theme and February's table will be decorated for Valentine's Day. There are no decorating rules, and the themes change from year to year.

There is a cost for a ticket for the event, which always sells out.

The fun begins at 1 p.m., when guests will visit the decorated tables. A prayer and a meal begin at 2 p.m. The menu includes barbecue, macaroni salad, punch and coffee. The table sponsors provide appetizers, desserts and party favors.

The Northampton Area High School chorus will entertain at 3 p.m.

For tickets, call the church at 610-262-8666.
