Trinity On The Hill Episcopal Church Hosts Alternative Giving Fair In Kelly Hall Sunday, Dec. 9
TOTH News:
Do you ever struggle to find the perfect gift for your loved ones? Would you like to do your holiday shopping a little differently this year?
It’s hard to shop for some people because they already have everything they want or because you want to give something unique or with significance. Alternative giving or graceful giving is a form of gift giving that has a symbolic value to the recipient and benefits a meaningful cause at the same time.
Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church at 3900 Trinity Dr. will host an Alternative Giving Fair 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 9 in Kelly Hall.

And, most of all for Christians, there is the very “reason for the season”: the celebration of the birth of Jesus 2000-ish years ago … “For a child is born to us, Read More
