Holiday Market - a Ministry of Love
"A heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped out - in person or by donating or even just stopping by to see how we were doing! This market (and the Spring Market) take many hands to make it work, but we come together and get it done every year. This is a ministry of love, fun, and fellowship!"
Holiday Market chair Sue Lowery's words capture the energy, joy, and success shared by all who were involved with the market this past week. From the glittering tables of your donations, to the Christmas carols echoing from Dalton Anderson's keyboard. From the dazzling display of auction and raffle items to the delicious meals and treats awaiting volunteers each day. From every smile and conversation we enjoyed with hundreds of shoppers to a grand total of $13,488.37 in sales (including the 1753 raffle tickets sold – thanks, Diane Rasmuson!) we could not have asked for more.
Thank you to all participants. From set-up to clean-up, this ministry contained and continued on the generous, loving spirit that is our Holy Spirit family.
