2nd Annual Rummage Sale

After a lot of preparation, we hosted our second Rummage Sale on June 30th. Thanks to plenty of donations from Menomonie and River Falls fellowships, we an even better sale than last year. Despite the ominous forecast, wonderful weather made it possible for a huge amount of the inventory to be put outside. A good crowd came this year, some mentioning they came last year. Once again the mobile coffeehouse joined us, giving people a chance to buy a cold coffee and chat. Thanks to Menomonie Street Level we had plenty of help on hand to staff the sale and engage the visitors. When it was all said and done, we were able to send three vehicles of goods back to Menomonie for Street Level’s next sale.

River Falls Days Coffee Giveaway

This year we stepped up to do our first event associated with River Falls Days. River Falls Days is the abnormally well attended and enjoyed “city days” of River Falls. It was decided our best avenue to connect with the community was to do a coffee and cold brew giveaway. We avertised with posters throughout town during the week leading up and handed out a couple of hundred flyers at the city parade. We opened up early on Saturday, which turned out to be another day of fantastic weather. About 40-50 people visited throughout the day, many hanging out with us to chat (the air conditioning helped) and ask questions about the ministry. In addition to giving away coffee, we had a drawing that people could enter for some coffee-related prizes.

The Ministry Ahead

We look forward to at least one more summer month to enjoy getting outside, grilling, and meeting new people. As God continues to lead the ministry and grow his church, our job is to keep pace with him along the journey. We believe there is plenty of new opportunity on the horizon, and we’d like to be there ready to experience every bit of it. Please pray that we are faithful in the next month of work, preparation, and ministry and that we see the fruitfulness that only God can bring about.
