Garage Sale
Each year Linworth holds two garage sales that see people from all around our community come to the church to benefit important Linworth missions.
2019 Fall Dates:
Friday, October 18th: 9 AM – 7 PM
Saturday, October 19th: 9 AM – 1 PM
* Tent opens at 8:30 AM on both days
The Mission of the LUMC Garage Sale is to:
- Raise money for the LUMC Youth Programming and Mission Projects
- Provide gently used affordable items to people in the community who need them
- Contribute items to charities (e.g. , New Life UMC, Salvation Army, Kidney Foundation…)
- Create a sense of community
If you would like to help and join in the fun there are many volunteer opportunities available including set up, sorting, organizing, pricing, repairing, moving furniture, measuring, sizing, greeting and orienting volunteers, helping with food preparation and serving, cashiering, assisting customers, and cleaning up.
