Celebrate Christmas Marketplace Thanks You
The market was supported by our
congregation at a level for which the Mission Commission wishes to
express to you deep and great thankfulness. In just 3 hours you gave
$11,868.00 to support people in need both locally and globally. In
addition, the Guatemala Project was supported with sales amounting to
$2,000.00. Also, there were all of you who took tags from the Christmas
trees in support of the children and families of Common Ground, El Nido,
and the people who come to the Good Shepherd Ministry Center for
clothing and food. Thank you too, for all the individuals who supported
the logistics of this endeavor, from gift card making, to flyers and
communications, to refreshments, to the joyful cashiers, to setting up
displays that invited you to learn and contribute.
What a day, what a morning of giving!
