The first Saturday of the month, our church opens its doors to the community for a special event that goes beyond just buying and selling. This monthly rummage sale offers a unique chance for neighbors and church members to come together, share treasures, and build meaningful connections. Whether you want to sell items or find something new, this event creates a welcoming space where friendships grow and support for important mission work flourishes.

How the Monthly Rummage Sale Works
The event is simple but powerful. Community members can purchase a space to set up their own rummage sale-style booth. This gives sellers a chance to clear out unused items and make some money. At the same time, shoppers can explore a variety of goods that change every month, from books and clothes to toys and home décor.
Sellers reserve a spot in advance, ensuring a well-organized layout.
Shoppers arrive early to find the best deals and unique finds.
The event runs throughout the day, allowing plenty of time for browsing and socializing.
This setup encourages participation from all ages and backgrounds, making it a true community gathering.

More Than Just Shopping
While the rummage sale offers great bargains and surprises, its real value lies in the connections it fosters. The event brings together people who might not otherwise meet, sparking conversations and friendships. It’s a place where neighbors catch up, newcomers feel welcomed, and church members share their mission with the wider community.
The church teams involved use the event to raise funds for their outreach programs. This means every purchase and sale supports causes that benefit people locally and beyond. By participating, community members contribute to a cycle of giving and receiving that strengthens everyone involved.
