The Who-What-Where-When and Why
As we have begun readying the Parkway Campus for a potential sale, one of the tasks is to declutter the church and annex buildings. We have been going through these buildings room by room and determining what could be tossed and what could be donated or sold via rummage sale. This rummage sale also gives the Lynndale Campus/Our Shepherd Childcare an opportunity to make room for storage in their own preparation of a potential move to a one-site ministry.
This rummage sale is not intended to be a fundraising activity – but rather an opportunity to bless others, and as funds do come in, they will go towards our Building Fund. All items will be “sold” for a free-will donation, except for larger items – which will be priced.
The rummage sale will be held on the Parkway Campus Thursday, August 3 – Saturday, August 5. Weather permitting – it will be mostly outdoors – but may trickle indoors depending on the amount of donations we receive. The hours of the sale will be Thursday and Friday 9AM-4PM and Saturday 9AM-12PM.

Donations
Donations of gently used items can be dropped off in the Sunday School rooms at the Parkway Campus on the following days:
o Sundays in July (beginning July 9) from after church to 11:15AM
o Tuesdays in July (beginning July 11) 1-3PM
As a general guideline, bigger items will only be accepted if two or less people can carry it.
Once donated, the items will be Bethany’s to do with as we wish after the sale. (donate or throw away) Should the item(s) that you donate not sell in the rummage sale, and you would like them back – you MUST come at 12PM on Saturday, August 5 to retrieve them.
