Best Global Holiday Faire ever
The Global Holiday Faire, our biggest outreach/mission project of the year, was held on December 3rd - and what a day it was! This year's faire enjoyed the largest attendance in its 8 year history and also raised more money for nonprofit organizations than it ever had before.
The Faire is a way that we 1) raise money for nonprofit organizations, in our own community and around the world; 2) raise awareness of these organizations so that the public learns who they are and what they do; and 3) raise social consciousness about the way we shop.
We host the faire, but we work with other churches in Vallejo and American Canyon to make it happen; this is an event for the entire community - it is much bigger than our own congregation. So thanks must go out to everyone who helped in whatever way they did to make it such a success: thanks to our volunteers, our donors, our shoppers, the organizations, the participating churches and choirs, and the entire community!
