The Annual Book Sale

Book & Bake Sale
Thank you for supporting the sale this year. We will be back in early spring 2024!

The Book & Bake Sale
Once a year in early spring we hold a public sale of used books and audio/visual material to raise funds for worthy causes. Church members and neighbors donate thousands of books, DVDs, CDs and vinyl records. Our UMW members sort and categorize everything to make it easy for you to shop. We have over 35 book categories and a dozen each of music and video genres. For an approximate list of our categories, click here.

​Please come and help support organizations in our community by shopping at our used book sale.
