Yard sale

A yard sale to benefit our Guatemala Mission Partnership is on after all – and coming up very quickly – Sunday, June 30,  1-4 pm.

We thought we would take this year off but then the Frankfort Avenue Business Association called for a neighborhood-wide yard sale. With that kind of free publicity, we decided to jump on-board. After all, Food Trucks and a mini-Farmers’ Market on the lawn next door at the St. Joseph’s Children’s Home should help ensure a lot of potential shoppers in the neighborhood.

Can we count on you to help in at least one of these four ways?

My church, Crescent Hill Presbyterian, 142 Crescent Ave. (just west of Frankfort and Stilz Avenues) is having a yard sale Sunday, June 30, 1-4 pm  to benefit our mission partnership with Guatemala’s Q'eqchi' Estoreno Presbytery.  Would you help us by passing word to co-workers, friends and family, donating some goods of your own or coming to shop? We’ll take gently-used furniture, children's toys, games, sporting equipment (no heavy exercise equipment), craft items, books, tools, household goods and decorations, and other items. No clothing please. Donations can be brought to the back building of the church the day before from 10 am – 2 pm. Or, call Soni at 417-6481 for other options. We will appreciate anything you can do to help make our sale successful!

• Bring donations to church this Sunday the 23^rd and take them to the “Green Underground” next to the prayer room in the basement of the sanctuary building. Or, bring them Saturday the 29^th, 10 am – 2 pm, to the Fireside Room in the back building.
• Volunteers are needed Saturday the 29^th, 10 am – 2 pm, to help sort, carry, place and price items. Volunteers also needed after church on the 30^th through about 5 pm to staff the yard sale, clean up and take away leftover items. No experience necessary for any task.  On the job training provided J  Call Soni Castleberry at 417-6481.
• After church on the 30^th, check out the great deals at our yard sale.  Your purchases support CHPC’s Guatemala Mission Partnership.  

Thanks so much for anything you can do to help with our yard sale efforts. Although the church budget supports some of the costs of  theological education for our Guatemalan partners and communication expenses, additional funds  are always needed to maintain and expand our partnership.
