Mini Market We are continuing with Nancy Bohn’s idea for raising funds after the Sunday Platform — offering good, useful items for re-sale. If you would like to participate, bring your clean, saleable items on Sunday, we will sort and ticket those that are marketable. You take them back home if not sold — or just peruse the goods, and maybe you’ll find something you’ve been looking for. Items are on a table on Sunday, then on the mantle during the week.
