Alternative Gift Giving 2021

WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESIST THE NARRATIVE OF CONSUMPTION AND DO SOMETHING REVOLUTIONARY THIS CHRISTMAS? 

Inspired by the Advent Conspiracy, we offer a way to help you Spend Less, Give More, Worship Fully & Love All by gifting differently. We've assembled a shopping list of Kingdom Investment opportunities here in Fresno and around the world. You can wrap up a notice describing the ministry receiving your $ 5 - 50 investment gift(s) in a beautiful card illustrated by an FPC artist. 100% of your donation goes directly to the ministry. An added bonus is that there's no supply chain issues with these gifts. 

Come explore the investment opportunities after each Sunday service through December 19. We'll have a check-out station for your shopping convenience. See what's "in store!"

WE HAVE "GIFTS" FROM EVERY CONTINENT IN THE $ 5 - 50 RANGE. THINGS LIKE: 

• Books for Schools in India
• or Shoes for a Homeless Child in Brazil
• or Milk for Children in an Orphanage in Ecuador
• or One Day of Meals for Women at Evangel Home Here in Fresno

Download the Gift Shopping List 21 FINAL.pdf to explore all the options. You can also shop via our online order form and collect your gift inserts and cards at our check-out stations or in the church office.

Here's what Elder Charity Whitney had to say about why she shops our Gift Fair: 

“There are many reasons I love giving Alternative Gifts at Christmas. I love pushing back against the overwhelming consumerism of the season. I love investing in ministries that do so much to transform our city and world. And—frankly—a lot of my family members throw away or re-gift the things I get them anyway! My family already thinks I'm weird, so what do I have to lose by gifting alternatively?”
