JOY of Giving Holiday Gift Market

Justice, Outreach and You (JOY) Ministry will host the 10th Annual Alternative Christmas Market on Saturday, December 14, 10-2 & Sunday, December ,15, 11:30-1 in NCC's Bridge Hall.  Returning this year will be the American Friends Service Committee with their fair trade olive oil and soaps from the Holy Land, and Habitat for Humanity with pins, cards and teddy bears.

Other favorites from the past include Greg Mortenson's Central Asia Institute where $20 provides school supplies for a year for two girls in Afghanistan, and CAMFED, which supplies school uniforms and shoes to girls in Africa.  There's always a flock of chickens or a soccer ball from Church World Services and feeding a rescued sea lion for a week at our local Marine Mammal Institute.
