Our Bigger than Giant Yard sale is coming soon and there’s still plenty of time to donate - please don’t miss this opportunity to get rid of some excess stuff and help make a few dollars for your church. Need a receipt for a charitable donation - no problem, need some items picked up - no problem, want to help out on the day or help set up - no problem, want to bake something to sell on the day - no problem, want to shop at a great yard sale - no problem. Lots of opportunities.
Mark and Laurie Pearson have graciously offered the vacant building next to their business, J& M Logging so we have inside and outside and can get set up prior to the day. With advance notice, items can be dropped off ahead of time. Thanks so much Mark and Laurie. Got a question or need help with any of the above…call or e-mail. Elsie Ware - 622-1415, eware@myfairpoint.net , Bessie Boudreau - 462-0114, Rhonda Ainslie- 623-4861 or Bev Daggett - 441-8623, senatorbdaggett@aol.com
Stove Challenge
Our Stove Challenge Remains open through May 20, as we try to meet a challenge grant from the United Methodist Foundation. They will match gifts up to $ 1500 to replace our 30 year old range, which has been showing its age lately and needs to be replaced. Gifts can be put in the offering plate marked “Stove Challenge.” Thank you for your support!
