November 7, 2010, 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Alternative Christmas Faire
La Verne Church of the Brethren
The Alternative Christmas Faire offers a rare opportunity to the harried shopper to Selections include unique handcrafted jewelry, artwork, chocolate and coffee–all made or grown by workers who are paid a fair and livable wage for their efforts.  A shopper can also choose to honor friends and family with a gift in their name of blankets and school supplies for a refugee child through Church World Service.  Or it could be a door, a brick, or some nails to build a house for the homeless through Habitat for Humanity.  Heifer International can provide a cow to give milk, chickens to lay eggs, trees and seeds, even bees, to give families the opportunity to feed themselves, and to also become independent. Beautiful holiday cards are provided to announce the gift to the one in whose name the gift has been given.

Heifer International will have animals on the courtyard for children to pet.  A light lunch will also be provided by the youth of the Church, who are raising money to help local needy families during the holiday season.  Come by with your family and friends, and start your holiday season with a new tradition—giving gifts to those you love that bring hope and help to those in need.
 
The Church is located on the corner of Bonita and “E” Street in historic downtown La Verne.  Call the Church Office for more information.  (909) 593-1364.
