Fall Children's Consignment Sale

Imagine 300 consignors, 60-70,000 quality items for babies, children, and teens, and thousands of shoppers in a 2 day sale & you've got our church consignment sale in mine! This ain't an old timey church yard sale with masking tape price tags, but is a computerized megasale that is a huge community event drawing consignors and shoppers from a 7 county area!

The Trinity on the Hill Children’s Consignment Sale (TOTH CCS) is held twice a year in the spring and sponsored by Trinity on the Hill UMC. Proceeds from the sale are divided between the seller (60%) and the TOTH CCS (40%). The net proceeds retained by the church are used to support the local, national and international missions of Trinity Outreach Ministries. In addition, at the discretion of the consignor, any unsold items may be donated to TOTH CCS to be used in various missions projects.

We're excited to announce that due to church renovation our fall sale will be held at 3360 Wrightsboro Road (the old Rhodes Furniture/Rooms To Go building)!

Missing Days Working & Not Sharing Stories

Too many days have gone by without sharing any stories. The summer was too short with all work and no play. Add in my son returning from choir tour in Spain needing to be hospitalized, my grandmother breaking her hip, and my mother-in-law having emergency double by pass surgery and it's all a blur! And now we are back in school with a 1st grader, a 9th grader, and a college freshman. Yee Haw!!

Can you believe we are now 5 years after Hurricane Katrina? I'm curious though what you did in response. Check out the story of some people who've been served and those who have served.
