"Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
~ Jesus (Luke 18:22)
Looking for good deals for Christmas?
Come rummage through piles of clothes, books, household items and lots of miscellany. No cover charge. Most items are pay as you can; some items will be available for auction. Antiques and original "Metrocard Man" items for sale too. Proceeds to support Faith House Manhattan's 2010 operating expenses. Bring your loose change! All coins will be given to the Salvation Army.
Jesus had a lot to say about money and the stuff we hang on to. He praised the widow who gave her last pennies to the temple. He told us to render unto God that which is God's. He reminds us of how God clothes the lilies of the field, even Solomon in all his splendor was not clothed so well.
We'll also have holiday snacks, skits, crafts for kids, and interactive stations where you can rummage through piles of sacred texts and take those you like, write down your own thoughts about stuff, give change for the Salvation Army, ring a bell for others to donate, and more. Plus time to spend time with the wonderful interfaith community of Faith House people.
RSVPs welcome, but not required, to bowie@faithhousemanhattan.org, on Facebook or Meetup.

DE-CLUTTERING Donations for Rummage Sale |
This
year, give away possessions that clutter your life. Things you don't
use, or have outgrown, or have become baggage. Not trash, but
treasures you are ready to part with. Email Bowie if you would like to donate clothes, household items, books, art, etc. or if you would like to come to a "sorting party" on from 5-8 pm on Sunday, November 29th. You can also bring donations to the 11/25 Living Room or on December 9, from 6-7 PM. "For
everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven... a time to keep, and a time to throw away" Ecclesiastes 3:1,6 |
We did our first round of sorting yesterday and we have LOTS of ladies jackets, scarves, other clothes and shoes; jewelery; sewing supplies; household knick-knacks; some framed art; books; CDs; and much miscellany!
