Spectacular Church, the structure is amazing. Plenty of friendly help at a recent tag sale fund raiser, some great comedians mixed in too. Always look forward to the Local Church Sales, any town, and any Church. Glad to be able to help someone somewhere, doesnt require thinking

I was a volunteer for the white elephant sale! When I was selling those things and I saw the costumers smile I felt so happy!

not really happy on the srcond day of the elephant sale. The only way you could get access to the items that being sold required that you purchase a very flimsy paper donated bag for $1 or $5 . Most of these bags could not handle the weight of certain items that were sold. Thats why i brought my own reusable durable bag, which was not welcomed at the sale. Someone dropped the ball on that practice. Great in theory not well thought out. Very shocked at this 2nd day rule having to spend $1 or $5 at the church sale for items you might not want. The people running certain areas of the church were very rude. I could not accompany my gf in order to help her with the items, I was told we both needed to puchase a bag. Thank goodness she didnt have any medical issues while she shopped alone. Thats why we shop together, but the medical issue was not clearly understood while I tried to explain it and turned away when it was required for both of us to purchase a bag. Thank youbfor being so understanding of people with medical conditions. Good to know the sales people arent trying to double dip on the sales of the flimsy paper bag they provided for the sale. There are certain people from that event need positive social skilla training in order to deal with the public. I might not go next year. Stay away from day 2 of their sale days. This years visit left a poor experience about this year's elephant sale. Time for the church to reevaluate customer assessment for these sales. If I knew this would happen I would have gone to a more friendly environment on my Saturday morning.
