On the first Friday and Saturday of every December, Friday the 5th and Saturday the 6th in 2025, Grace Church hosts the Olde World Market to raise funds to support our ministry in Haiti. Area vendors are invited to sell their beautifully crafted wares with a portion of their proceeds benefiting our ministry efforts in Haiti. All proceeds directly serve the needs of this important ministry. This has been a long-established event in the life of Grace Church and has made a tremendous impact on the lives of those it is intended to help the most. If you are interested in learning more about being a vendor or learning more information about this important ministry, please reach out to the church office.
