THE MISSION MARKETPLACE

A Fair-Trade, Good Works Store

closes at the First United Methodist Church Chelsea

AND

Opens Full-Time in Chelsea

On behalf of myself, the many volunteers who helped staff the Mission Marketplace during it's six-year run in the basement of the church AND THE NUMEROUS ARTISANS AND THEIR FAMILIES YOUR PURCHASES HELPED SUPPORT OVER THESE PAST YEARS - THANK YOU!  This congregation's love, encouragement and support of this mission is truly representative of the love our Lord intends us to share in the world.  Well, a lot has happened since that first sale in 1998.  Even though, we are no longer in the basement, under the sanctuary, we have only moved one block north and west.  Please visit our new, brighter location - we have many new suppliers, new stories and opportunities for you to help those less fortunate than ourselves.  You can help even more by passing this message to others who are committed to fair trade and helping others all over the world.

God's Blessings,

Kevin Frahm
