With our Saturday Oct0ber 26 Yard Sale (9:30 am-1:00 pm) fast approaching, we need a lot of both volunteers and donations. Leave your donations in the Sanctuary (NOT on the stage!) starting Sunday October 20 after the service until Friday evening October 25. Please donate only clean, unbroken items in saleable condition, using the following guidelines.

Not acceptable: No books (until the December fair); No clothing; No sports/exercise equipment; No computers/monitors/old electronics; No large furniture or other very bulky/heavy items (our volunteers & customers have to move these things!); No broken or dirty/moldy items.

Volunteer opportunities: We still need more volunteers to make this event a success. We especially need folks to sort & price donations (which will go on throughout Friday), and to help clean up after the Yard Sale. Even just an hour or two of your time can make a big difference to our team.
