Books & Bling & Other Things, this year’s church sale, was a success, thanks to the efforts of close to thirty volunteers and extensive donations from members of the congregation.

The sale, held on April 26 and 27, was a merger of the annual book sale and a rummage sale. It netted over $2,700. The bulk of this total –– $2,200 –– goes toward the church’s 2024 operating budget, while $500 is going to the Clara Barton Guild. The guild underwrites special church projects.

Besides raising needed cash for our church, the sale is helping our congregation build relationships with community members. Some are regulars who like to come to our sales year after year. Others are unfamiliar with Heritage Church and Unitarian Universalism, making these events an important outreach to our surrounding neighborhoods.
