Alternative Christmas Market raises $88,563 for mission partners

The final numbers are in, and this year’s market raised $88,563 to support the work of fourteen local and national mission partners.

Since 1995, this special event has offered an alternative to the consumer culture that invades the Christmas season, raising nearly a million dollars! Thank you to all who shopped and volunteered to help make a difference for our neighbors, spreading the good news of Christmas to those who need it most. Special thanks to Connie Goggin and Susan Teerink, market co-coordinators; this year’s market planning team: Sue Rennane, Sharon Rose, Scott Silet, Leslie Smart, Bobbi Timberlake, Julia Vosper, Rob Ater; and the Mission Committee.
