Covenant Presbyterian Church's Alternative Christmas Market is "A Different Way of Doing Christmas." It's an alternative to the hustle and bustle of the consumer driven mega stores. The market was held December 2, 2007, but a smaller version will be available December 9 and 16 from 9:30 to 10:30 AM at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 201 N. Limestone St.

At the Alternative Christmas Market, you can provide a meaningful gift to someone who will really appreciate it. And it will be someone that you don't even know. Yet. Click here for more about the participating organizations.

You can still participate in the Alternative Christmas Market. Contact Diane Van Auker, (937) 399-9298, or cell (937) 925-5956, or email datava@sbcglobal.net

The checkout folks were kept pretty busy.	The Gift Card girls would prepare a card to send to your loved one informing them of your gift in their name.
And what's a church-related activity without plenty of good home-cooked food.
