Alternative Christmas Gift Market....


This Saturday, we will hold our first ever Alternative Christmas Gift Market at Community of Joy. It will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude around 2 p.m. The proceeds from the event will directly benefit people who have need. Like a Guatemalan 9th grader, who we are helping to get a high school education with an investment of $2,000 a year for three years. We are working directly with our own young adults, Becky and Aaron Johnston, who are living in Guatemala and working there for another year or so. Then we will also support countless families around the world through Heifer International and Greater Gift. In addition, there will be direct trade coffee and lots of eats for sale. A few local crafters will also be present and will donate to the effort. It should be a great day!
