four local ministries as well as an overseas missionary. Gray noted that the yard sale, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, would not be possible without the support of a team. “We have an amazing team of volunteers who advertise the event; set up all the tables; help the vendors find their stands; make the soup, egg sandwiches and other food items; run the food stand; and clean up after the event,” she said. Ruhl’s Church holds community events throughout the year, and the indoor yard sale plays an important part in the church’s mission. “We like to reach out to the community to provide fellowship opportunities that also support the Lord’s work,” Gray said. Free parking is available for the indoor yard sale in a large lot on the church property, and the church is handicapped-accessible. Pets are prohibited in the building as is smoking. For more information on the event, call the church office at 717-665-3400.

alk through the doors of the fellowship hall in Ruhl’s Church on Saturday, March 1, and you never know what you might find. The church’s annual indoor yard sale will be held that day from 7 to 11 a.m., featuring antiques, collectibles, household items, toys, books, tools and a food stand. The church is located at 4810 Elizabethtown Road, Manheim. More than 30 stand holders will participate in the event, said Kris Gray, a church member who coordinates the yard sale. “There is always a wide variety of items for sale at good prices and a chance to chat with friends and neighbors,” she shared. “We normally have a great turnout because folks are eager to get out and enjoy one of the first yard sales of the spring.” A wide variety of food will also be for sale, including egg sandwiches, homemade chicken corn noodle soup, hot dogs, barbecue sandwiches, baked goods and assorted beverages.

Again this year, a table will be set up offering new and used Bibles and devotional books for people of all ages, offered free of charge. One of the yard-sale tables will feature items donated by church members. All proceeds from the sale of those items will directly benefit the church and its missions. There’s also a chance to win a door prize, Gray said. “When attendees sign up to be added to our email list to receive notifications about upcoming events, they are registered for the door prize,” she explained. Proceeds from stand holder donations and the food stand, as well as the donation table, help to fund the missions and ministry activities of the Sunshine adult Sunday School class. This class organizes and distributes food boxes for local families in need at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter; supports the church’s par ticipation in O peration Christmas Child through Samaritan’s Purse; and hosts a special banquet for senior citizens. The class also sends cards to homebound individuals and supports
