Yard Sale Plan of Action
Month of July: Cull your
closets, kitchens, garages,
kids’ rooms, libraries, and
bric-a-brac shelves, save
paper bags and grocery
bags. Start filling bags with
items to donate to the yard
sale.
Kick-off
Sunday,
August 3: Plan to help set
up rooms after church on
this day – dress casually and
we’ll work together.
August 4-15: Drop off
carloads of donations at
Binkley!
Help your
neighbors by offering to
pick-up donations for
Binkley! Spend your free
hours at Binkley helping us
sort, shelve, hang, and display the donations we receive. This is a church-wide
effort and we can’t do it
without everyone’s assistance.
6-8 PM, August 15: If you
log a minimum of 10 hours
of Yard Sale work – you
have a two-hour window of
early shopping this night.
8 AM – 1 PM, August 16:
Eat a good breakfast, put on
your smile, shore up your
patience and fortitude, and
help us welcome and serve
hundreds of folks who will
come and shop. This day
and this sale bring together a
trinity of church cooperation,
fellowship, and outreach.

H ISTORICAL U PDATE
Those of you who were members of Binkley in the early days will recall the summer of 1962 when Jim Forbes, an African American seminarian from Union in
New York, was an intern with us for three months. He later became the senior
Minister of the Riverside Church in New York City. You may not know that
I officiated at his wedding in 1964 in a large Pentecostal church in Wilmington.
I have just returned from his fiftieth wedding anniversary held at Riverside.
He is well and still active, and he and Bettye have a son in Raleigh. I had the
pleasure of leading them in the repeating of their wedding vows and sharing with
the congregation some of what we experienced in segregated Chapel Hill when
he was here.
