Visitors surged into the church for the UMW rummage and bake sale Saturday. Baked goods sold quickly, and so did the many houseplants. Janice Jungwirth of Redfield won the quilt.

Rummage and Bake Sale

The United Methodist Women will be holding its fall Rummage and Bake Sale Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Aberdeen, SD. Basement tables are filled with all sorts of items. Wonderful stacks of fabric for holiday sewing projects -- almost an entire table filled with fabric. Dishes and novelties of all kinds are lining tables, books, linens, bedding, car care items, sports action figures still in original packaging,

A large quilt will be raffled off, as well as a Tsunami swan mobile fashioned by the kids' Sunday school class. Most swan figures have a Bible verse or Haiku inside. (Proceeds of this go to Japan for aid to tsunami victims)

A room of free items is also ready for the sale. All clothes are free. Many jeans and shorts, shirts and blouses, many in surprisingly good condition are available for FREE. The free room also includes unusual items: a bucket full of wooden spools, an exercise bike, lamps, some books, shoes, balls.

UMW uses the profits from the sale to aid local charity groups and worldwide missions.

Admin. board meeting, music up next

This Sunday, the morning message will be “Steeple or Service Station?"
    Faith Musicians will provide special music. Administrative board meets after worship in the lounge. Informal music presentation at 12:15 p.m. by Michael Marmorstein.

    Flyers announcing the UMW rummage and bake sale will be available to pass out to friends and to pin on community bulletin boards. There is still time to clean closets, basements and attics to rustle up items for the sale. Tools, linens, fabric, crafts, furniture all should sell well.
  We are looking forward to welcoming Donna Seaton back from Wales. She arrived safely Friday night.
