I am a big fan of the Rummage Sale for several reasons:
1. It motivates me to do some sorting and culling of the extra "stuff" that tends to accumulate at our house.
2. It provides an excellent place to donate said "stuff" so I don't have to organize a garage sale of my own!
3. It's a great way to support a ministry I care about.
4. It encourages people to re-use things, instead of always buying new. Reduce, REUSE, Recycle - great ways to get maximum use of things and care for God's creation! Yay for good stewardship made easier!
5. It's a great way to welcome the community into the congregation's space and provide a useful service to them.
6. Even though I tend to think of the Rummage Sale as an opportunity to have less "stuff" at our house, sometimes there are great bargains to be found and are just what we need - like toddler clothes!
Donations are VERY gladly accepted (gift-in-kind receipts are available if you want one) and the youth and parents will be sorting and pricing each evening for the rest of the week.
Come and shop on Saturday morning!
