I was so blessed to be able to help Springfield First Nazarene church with their annual free garage sale! They had been organizing for months, and the whole church helped set up tables and put out stuff on Wednesday. Everything was ready for Saturday morning's sale 9-12.
People lined up in the freezing weather at 7:30 am. There was over 600 people that came through! The only rule was "take what you need, leave what you don't". It was amazing to be involved in so many people's lives.
The goal of this outreach was just to be a blessing to people. That's it. Love people like Jesus would!
Everyone got a bag with a new testament bible in it and some information about the church. There were some wrapped presents donated by church members. People could take an addition free bible if they wanted. Also was free oil changes for single parents and people could share any prayer requests they had.
It was an amazing day!
