April 24, 2010 our annual yard sale brought in over $2500 dollars. All proceeds go towards paying down the mortgage.
As always their was lots of food and fun. As in years past, there was also Bake Sale in conjunction with St. Paul's
Annual Yard Sale. All donations of baked goods were greatly appreciated. We helped send Debbie to Ghana - We raised $500!!!!!!
From giraffe spots, to bake sales, to rainforest dinners and more, the Sunday School classes at St. Paul’s have done amazing things to help the BASCO orphanage in Trotor, Ghana. Their gift collections and other efforts over the past four years have raised thousands of dollars and fostered a deep and inspiring connection with a village more than 5,000 miles away. Debbie Marston, our church office administrator, has led this remarkable effort with imagination, enthusiasm and tireless work devoted to a place she has never seen and for people she has never met. It will be possible for Debbie to finally visit and meet the kids and “Pastor Victor.” To help pay the costs of this trip for Debbie, Maureen Arndt were at this week’s Yard Sale at St. Paul’s, offering a wide selection of genuine freshwater pearl jewelry and fashion accessories. All profits (we raised $500) from her sales will go towards Debbie’s trip to Ghana.
