In our part of the world, a rummage sale is a great swap of pre-owned and pre-used clothing, household

 effects, knick knacks, and "stuff!"  Our community-renowned Rummage and Bake Sale

 takes place for two weeks each fall, in late October, and each spring, in May.  With each

 event, there is a huge bustle as people come and go, giving and selling, buying and

 volunteering.                                                                                                       Upcoming events

  For Rundle Memorial United Church, rummage sales provide an opportunity for social

  service and community liaison.  Necessities can be reasonably had by those who live on

  a thin margin.  Bargain-hunters make some wonderful purchases, and party-goers can 

  find a costume for any occasion.  The semi-annual rummage sales are also a significant

  fund-raiser for our congregation, as we sell, at low prices, items that have been

  generously donated to the church.  Donations of clean clothing and household items are

  gratefully accepted at the rear door of the church.  Call 762-2075 for pick-up of larger

  items.  Volunteers are appreciated for set-up, sales, and take down.  It's lots of  fun!

   Several times a year,  the congregation gathers for a

  great communal feast.  Prominent among these is the Thanksgiving Potluck, where an

  open invitation is extended to young people all over town, and a large crowd enjoys both

  feast and entertainment.  A similar dinner is held in mid-December and another in the

  spring.  These become a time for people to meet each other in a relaxed atmosphere. 

  Members and visitors are always welcome.                                             View photographs

  Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
  This occasional mid-winter event has people signing up to cook dinner for a group whose

  identity remains a secret until they show up at the door.  Similarly, if you sign up to eat

  out, you find out where you are going just before you leave.  Each diner is asked to

  contribute their estimate meal's value to the Church coffers.  Great food, good fun, and a

  boost to the budget!

   Bible and Book Studies, Discussion and Practice Groups

  Throughout the year, groups come together to participate in Bible study, examine a book,

   review a video series, or study and/or participate in a practice, such as prayer study or

   healing touch.  These activities always provide new ideas to push you or tease you into

   new ways of living the faith.

  The United Church Women (UCW)

  The UCW meets on the first Tuesday of each month for fellowship, study and project

  planning and administration.  The group is open to women of the congregation of any age 

  who are interested in furthering the work of the United Church in Banff and beyond.
