This Christmas,

instead of giving more things,

give more meaning!

The purpose of the Alternative Christmas Market is to provide people with the opportunity to give Christmas gifts that will bring the true joy of Christmas to the giver, the recipient, and to those who are in need. We invite members of the congregation and the local community to honour friends and loved ones with gifts to local or international charitable groups. An Alternative Christmas Market expands the horizon of what gift giving is all about.

As a visitor to the Market you can:

• Visit information booths to find out more about the various nonprofit agencies that help others in our community and around the world.
• Decide which agencies you want to support.
• Linger awhile and enjoy some tea, coffee and hot mulled cider.
• Support your favorite cause(s) with financial contribution by cash, or cheque.
• Make your gift in memory of a loved one or in honour of someone who "has everything" .
• Bring your children and grandchildren to help them learn about giving to the community.
• Learn more about the true meaning of Christmas and giving to others.

Help local and international agencies continue to make a difference
