These sales are always a lot of work in advance, and this year we could have used some extra help getting ready. However, the day of the Rummage Sale was beautiful and well attended by both buyers and Epiphany helpers, including several of our youth Connor & Brendan Graves, Christina Farr, Emily Baker, and Tristen Guzman-Walsh. They carried bags to cars for our customers and assisted with heavy items. The sale netted >$700 a good amount for the first Rummage Sale in our new home. A small trampoline that was donated did not sell, so now the youth have a new toy in their classroom!
