Rummage Sale
First, we consider the rummage sale to be a community mission of sorts because it allows the disadvantaged in our community to buy good, inexpensive school clothes for their kids as well as reasonable priced household items.
For the past few years the Sarah Circle Methodist Women’s Group has been sponsoring the Rummage Sale and the money raised is its main source of funds and which is used for the benefit of various Sarah Circle projects. For instance, last year Sarah Circle:
- bought school shoes for kids in Comanche ISD
- bought Christmas gifts for the staff at Western Hills Nursing Home
- helped sponsor the Joy Women’s Retreat
- donated to the Thanksgiving turkey boxes
- sent money the church in Bulgaria which was suffering severe financial problems
- bought two new stoves for the kitchen
- helped several in our congregation who were struggling financially.
All this was done with the proceeds of the rummage sale!
In closing, you might think that donating a bag of books or used clothes to the rummage sale is not so important – but it really is. Your generous donations allow the church to serve our community as well as our congregation. So thanks to each of you!
