Threshold Ministries' 5th Annual Christmas Mission Market will be held on Saturday, December 6, and Sunday, December 7. The market will be held indoors at Orcutt Presbyterian Church in Santa Maria from 10:00-2:00 on Saturday and after worship service on Sunday. We invite you to spend the night in Santa Maria on Saturday and return to the market on Sunday. If needed, host homes will be made available to those who would like to stay for the second day of the market.

At our market, your non-profit can offer alternative or world market gifts in exchange for a donation to your organization. Alternative gift items bring material goods to the people whom a nonprofit serves. For example, someone may make a $25.00 donation that will enable a needy family to receive a 100 pound bag of rice. In exchange for their donation this person will receive a small gift or card that represents this donation. These gifts or cards then become an alternative gift that can be given to friends and relatives. This is a wonderful way to give a gift that can be life changing. World Market merchandise items are either handcrafted or manufactured by the people that the nonprofit supports or they are items that are imported from the region of the world that the nonprofit serves. The money raised from the donations/sales of these items at the alternative/world market will go directly to the nonprofit organization which sells them.

Each mission agency will be provided with a six-foot table and chairs. If you feel that you need an additional table please let us know and we will try to accommodate your request.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase with the proceeds benefitting the youth programs at Orcutt Presbyterian Church.

We hope that you are able to join us and we look forward to hearing from you. There are a limited number of spaces so please respond with your reservation as soon as possible. November 12, 2008 is the deadline. If you are interested in participating or have any questions please contact Tammy at (805) 938-5882 or send an email to tammy@tmihope.org
