Fall Flea Market
The Nativity of Our Lord Church held their Fall Flea
Market on Saturday, October 5. It was a glorious day for
the event. It was an outstanding success. We sold out all
our spaces. For the first time, a bake sale along with a
refreshment table was available and proved to be very
successful. Thank you to the GCU Parish Matching Funds
program for increasing the success of the Flea Market.
