Community CC Holds Rummage Sale to Benefit Salvation Army

On October 27-28, Community Christian Church in Jefferson City held a rummage sale. The members were told by Pastor Craig Kirby-Grove to clean out their closets, their basements, and their attics. They followed his instructions and the fellowship hall of the church was full of tables artfully holding everything from a computer monitor to a 1950s tube radio. The purpose of selling all these treasures was to buy food for the local Salvation Army. Profits from the sale reached just short of $1,300 to help fill the cabinets and pantry. Read more>
