Our Annual Rummage Sale

has been cancelled for this year. Your safety and that of our volunteers is our primary concern. As you’ll read in the Rummage Sale committee statement below, the decision to cancel was a very difficult decision, but the right thing to do. See you in 2023! 

 

March 2023

Dear Friends,
 
We are certain that you are all aware of the concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus (coronavirus) that has had a global impact and that cases have begun to be reported in the South Jersey/Philadelphia metropolitan area. Reported cases are expected to rise in the coming weeks. Additionally, we are certain that you are aware that the Rummage Sale is scheduled for a little more than 3 weeks from today.
 
After much prayer and consideration of all the “moving parts” that go into the planning and execution of the Rummage Sale, it is with much regret that we inform you that we feel that it is in the best interest of our many volunteers and guests of the church to cancel this year’s Rummage Sale. While, as individuals, we are not concerned about our personal risk factors, we are very concerned about the health risks for our volunteers (many of whom are in age groups that are more vulnerable to serious health consequences if exposed to COVID-19) as well as the health of the many guests that we welcome to our church during the sale.
We are sure that many volunteers and guests will be disappointed that the sale has been canceled. We share in that disappointment. The Rummage Sale is a wonderful week of fellowship and service for many, many people.
 
With love in Christ,
Cheryl Gaskill & Gayle Payne
Rummage Sale Co-Coordinators
