The 2007 Gluten Free Fair was a big success!

On Saturday, May 12, Anchor Baptist hosted the first annual west Michigan Gluten
Free
Food Fair because over one
fifth of our congregation suffer from the disease
known as
celiac disease.
We hosted the Gluten Free Food Fair to promote awareness & introduce vendors that cater to the gluten free diet. The response from vendors & guests was tremendous.
The Lord blessed us with a
beautiful day, and almost 500
people were in
attendance.
This was a very successful
event that dramatizes the need
for support and awareness of
this topic.
As you can see, many stores and restaurants plus vendors from Michigan, several other
states and Canada
showed up. Attendees had fun while tasting wonderful gluten free
products, gathering information and
resources, and seeing that they certainly are
not alone in their quest for good gluten free foods. If you would
like to know
more about Celiac disease, please go to our celiac
ministry page to learn more. There you'll find
helpful and informative links on
the disease as a whole, as well as our individual church's involvement as a
ministry.
