Alternative Christmas Market

This Sunday, December 2 at All Saints in Pasadena is the annual Alternative Christmas Market. Some wish for peace among men and hope for the poor, this is a great way to make that a reality. You can purchase shelter for the homeless, toys for foster children, or animals for a small village. It's a great way to share your love with people less fortunate than we are.

Christmas in Pasadena
