To add to Greg's post, the only thing I have seen that might question
the LH designation is any rummage or clothing sales. If this is an
issue, perhaps they could pick a room for this and bump the
protection up in that area.
Encapsulated cranberry-nut bread in the quantities usually present
would not be a significant problem.

In my experience, most churches do not use their multi-purpose areas like
secular buildings would. They typically do no have car shows, gun shows and
exhibits like buildings which rent out by the day or week might.
I certainly would not consider a church bake sale "mercantile" based on the
low quantities of goods and the lack of permanent displays.
I would consider most if not all of them Light Hazard without much question.

Hello Steve,
We are finishing a whole multi-purpose building here for a church, Offices,
Kitchen, Full court plus some gym area including to portico areas outside as
light hazard (.10). I would look at 5.2 then A5.2 in the 07 version of 13
Also 21.36.1.1 can apply.
