Rummage sale and fund-raiser

Unity Church of Truth, 2900 S. Bernard St., is inviting the community to join in an unusual rummage sale Saturday.

“Sacred Rubble: Unloaded” is a project to raise awareness about giving and receiving, living a more simple and uncluttered life, and letting go of material objects, and creating more space so that God’s spirit can bring greater good.

To participate, bring an object you no longer want or use to the church between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Donated items will also be available to everyone at no cost.

Crosswalk, SpokAnimal C.A.R.E. and Second Harvest Food Bank will also be at the event to accept donations.

For more information, call 838-6518

Three-year-old children attend on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 11:30 p.m. Classes for 4- and 5-year-olds are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 11:30 a.m.
