Memorial Weekend Rummage Sale
Sponsored by Mary Martha Circle
United Methodist Women
Friday, May 27th 9am-6pm
Saturday, May 28th 8am-12pm
We need your help:
· Donate items—please save your household and other items and donate them for the sale. (No clothing please! You are encouraged to donate your clothing to Love INC). However - Children’s clothing from infant to size 6X will be accepted.
· Plants—We sell repotted or excess plants from our yards. As you start your spring plantings, please plan to donate plants to the plant sale. We take any plants and you can repot, recreate (upcycle) planters or just bring in extra plants you have dug out of your yard. This is a huge hit during the sale.
Thursday, May 26th at 9am until done – Set up rummage & plant sale – sign up in the coffee area at church.
Friday May 27th & Saturday May 28th – Need persons to work the sale. Sign up in the coffee area at church.
Saturday, May 28th – 12pm until done – need persons to help clean up rummage and plant sale. Please sign up in the coffee area at church.

Touch Letters
Touch letters are available in the coffee area, if you have someone you would like us to send a note to, please write their name on the top of a touch letter and lay it on the table to be signed by the congregation. Thank you for your help.

Prayer Requests
If you have a prayer request or joy you would like us to pray for during prayer time in the worship service, please write your prayer on a card and give it to Pastor Kathy before worship. Prayer cards are available in the pews and on the table in the Narthex as you come in.
