Easter Preparations!

Rummage Sale
July 13 & 14
The rummage sale was such a huge success! A big thank you to all who donated items and to all the tireless volunteers, who gave up countless numbers of hours of their time sorting, decorating, and preparing the Lower Church Hall for the event - from our ever so dedicated Seniors to our Teens and Young Adults, to our children who helped setting up the various train tracks for display, to all those who diligently made sure they supplied breakfast and lunch for the volunteers each day, to our Art and Craft kids who helped out in making and decorating our Rummage Sale signs.
Thanks to all the shoppers who came from various towns and counties to patronize this event.
It was truly a family event!

You have helped put a little bright light in the lives of these victims. Thank you very much." A total of 28 Bags were given out. A big thank you also goes to all donors, who generously help to keep the ministries inventory buoyant.
