STOCKHOLM — Members of the historic Stockholm United Methodist Church’s congregation teamed together to raise funds to aid the church’s charitable programs last weekend. Proceeds from the festival are earmarked to support church ministry projects and local ministry outreach to help local families in need.

Near the southern most end of Vernon-Stockholm Road, the event was held in and around the church’s community gathering building. Inside, offerings included homemade chili and soups, coffee, tea and soft drinks, a hot dog cart, baked goods, and eat-in or take-out fare.
