The Harvest Market would not be possible without our amazing volunteers from the Thrive Church Missions Team. This team of willing teens and adults will work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the event is the best it can be, for vendors and for shoppers.

The team is lead by youth pastor Ryan Foust, who finds the areas with greatest need to safely send the team to do the work of the Lord. At the outbreak of Covid-19, his team was working in the foothills of the Appalachia Mountains in Kentucky, helping feed those in need and working on much needed home repairs for families in the holler.
In 2021, the plan is to send a group to work alongside the members of our sister church in the impoverished area of Belize City, Belize. Work there usually consists of fixing the most essential safety issues in homes and buildings, and sharing lessons of God's great love to the children and adults in the area.

How can you help? Be sure to stop by the Mission Team's booth, set up along the south side of the Fellowship Hall building and have lunch. Our own Troy Bass makes a delicious beef burger and for just $5, you can get a sandwich, chips and a dessert. A dollar will buy you a cold can of soda.

We look forward to serving you at the Harvest Market on Saturday, and any other time you would like to join us for Sunday morning service or during youth group (for ALL ages) on Wednesday nights.

In the years to come, we will hear lots of stories about how awful the The Pandemic of 2020 was. However, a lot of good came from the Pandemic, too. Families finally slowed down and spent valuable time together. Our next vendor today is Geoff Tessau and he and involved his young son and the two started a hobby. I'll let him tell you more.

"What started off as a quarantine project, has turned into an accidental hobby! Since April, my son and I have been making these picnic tables for squirrels and chickens right here in Warren county, and they are a huge hit! They are a great gift idea for animal lovers! "

I have a friend who's chickens are her family. I think her young ones need one of these chicken picnic tables! Hey, Cheri Lyon, did you see this?

I am thrilled to introduce you to Sarah Davis, entrepreneur owner/operator of Sarah's Handwoven Rugs. Drumroll please.....

"My name is Sarah Davis and I am the owner/operator of Sarah's Handwoven Rugs. Our family moved to Osceola in June 2019 from Huntington, WV. My husband and I are blessed to have 2 AMAZING children: Jacob is 3 and Destiny is 11. We moved to Iowa to be closer to my family in the Leon/Davis City area. I am former Amish and when we moved to Iowa, I needed a job. Luckily, my sister, who is Mennonite, invited me to work with her making handwoven rugs. November of last year, my sister decided to pursue other interests and sell the business she had maintained for years. After discussing it with my husband, we decided that it would be a "no brainer" to purchase the business and have it as our own. So, that same month, the business officially became "Sarah's Handwoven Rugs". I now dedicate my time and energy to our new business and it is the best professional decision I have made.
I will say that COVID-19 has affected us, as it has many others. Our main niche is craft fairs, vendor markets, and shows of that type, many of which were canceled due to the pandemic. However, things are starting back up and we look forward to years of producing and selling "Quality Rugs 4 Less".
I love what I do, I love our business, and I love meeting people at the shows we are part of. Thanks for your time and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday at the Harvest Market in Indianola.

You guys, I have one of Sarah's rugs. It is, hands down, my favorite rug in the house. They come in all sizes, fabulous colors, and are MACHINE WASHABLE. The only thing they are missing is pockets! Seriously, you do not want to miss her booth at the Harvest Market THIS Saturday. 9-2. Come early!

707 E Euclid Ave. Look for the signs!
