Loaves & Fishes Alternative Gifts Market 

Sunday, December 7th  (12:15-2:00 PM)

This year marks the 7th anniversary of our Loaves & Fishes Alternative Gifts Market! On Sunday, December 7th we will be hosting in our fellowship hall an event to benefit local and international non-profit agencies who are doing God’s work in the world. Not only does Loaves & Fishes provide agencies with much needed resources, but it also offers our consumption-driven society a way to give gifts that matter!

This year we welcome Trinity Episcopal Church as a co-sponsor of Loaves & Fishes!

Click here for a brochure. Mail in orders will be received until December 19.For more information contact Michael Poulos.  

 

OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES

On January 30th, more than 500 homeless people were counted in Asheville. There are only 258 beds in homeless shelters in Asheville.  Given the economy, the number of homeless is expected to climb.  Our HOMELESSNESS TASK FORCE encourages all FPC-A members to consider deepening our church's commitment to work with those who live on the margins of our society.  For more information about ministry opportunities, click here.
