St. Marks Merry Mission Marketplace


St. Marks United Methodist Church will be hosting their second annual Merry Mission Marketplace on November 30th from 6-8pm. The idea for the event is to bring awareness and raise money for local non-profits. Consumers come to the marketplace (at St. Marks) and purchase items while also giving back to the community! All the vendors participating are either non-profit organizations or have agreed to donate a certain percentage of earnings from the event to a charity or mission. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about awesome organizations in your area. Bring your children or grandchildren and teach them about giving to the community. Last year’s event was incredibly successful with over $7000 raised for charities!

The 1:27 Call is excited to take part in the event again this year. This year we will be sponsoring Olive Tree Promise. Olive Tree Promise is a free fundraising storefront to help adoptive families bring their children home. Vendors and adoptive families raise funds together. Adoptive families are able to sell the vendors’ products and the vendors give a portion of their proceeds to the adoptive families. We have some awesome items for you to purchase for yourself or as a gift that keeps on giving by helping a family bring home a child! All of the money raised at this event will go to one special waiting adoptive family in Middle Tennessee! Visit http://www.olivetreepromise.com/ for some of the items that will be available at the marketplace. You can also find information on fundraising for your adoption with the assistance of Olive Tree Promise. Also, vendors can find information on how they can take part in joining children and families.

Come shop with us on Wednesday, November 30th at St. Marks United Methodist Church Murfreesboro, TN!
