‘Rummage for Riches’ at Lord of Life Lutheran Church sale

Posted

Lord of Life Lutheran Church will host its first rummage sale, “Rummaging for Riches,” from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14 at 276 Roscoe Blvd. N in Ponte Vedra Beach.

“In this area there are always a lot of people moving in who discard goods as they redecorate, or who downsize as children leave home, return to family elsewhere, or take a job out of state,” said Cindy Tanton, Church Council President. “So, we have a lot of merchandise that we will be selling in up to 10 different categories inside the church.”

Shoppers can find kitchen and bathroom goods; pet-related items; clothing, shoes, accessories and jewelry; home décor, arts, crafts and holiday; children’s stuff; furniture and books; hardware, tools, lawn, garden, sports; and electronics.

The rummage sale will be held rain or shine inside the pavilion. The funds raised will go to the church’s building campaign. The church has received all the local approvals necessary to build, and next steps include surveying and staking the area, and pouring the concrete foundation.

“If you need to furnish an apartment for your college-age child, this would be a great event to check out, or if you like reusing and recycling goods, we are sure you will uncover some super finds,” Tanton said.

The first known use of the word “rummage sale”[i] was in 1858 according to “The Merriam-Webster Dictionary.” Amazingly, about 165,000 yard sales are held each week in the U.S., according to Signs.com.
