2011 Alternative Christmas Market

November 19 and 20, November 26 and 27, December 3 and 4

Thank you for your support; lives will be better because of your gifts.

Instead of giving a Christmas or birthday gift to a friend or family member,

consider supporting an orphan in Haiti or

providing clean water, medicines or medical supplies

in Zimbabwe and Liberia

Gifts may be purchased in the Fellowship Hall on Sundays,

or via mail, or on-line "click and give."  See below for gift ideas.../files/Pictures/DSC08189_1.JPG

We are decorating a tall tree in Fellowship Hall with pictures of live gifts purchased; these gifts will be given to those in need in developing countries.  This project is sponsored by The Global Mission Committee.  Ornaments hung for each Alternative Gift bought.
