RUMMAGE/BAKE SALE
THANK YOU!
The annual Immanuel rummage and bake sale was successful - thanks to everyone. The proceeds of the bake sale go to the youth programs of our church. The proceeds of the rummage sale go back into the community.
Thank you to everyone who provided "merchandise" for the rummage sale. Thank you to everyone that provided scrumptious goodies for the bake sale.
And thank you to each and every volunteer for the many hours you gave of your time to this year's rummage and bake sale. We so appreciate the assistance and cooperation in this annual event.
