ALTERNATIVE CHRISTMAS MARKET
November 24 — December 15, 2024
Each year, AHUMC partners with local mission and ministry initiatives to create the Alternative Christmas Market. Each donation comes with a beautiful Christmas Card that you can give to someone and let them know a donation has been made in their honor.
Come by the market in the Atrium on Sundays from November 24 through December 15 and learn how your donation will help serve and love others.
