Whew! Awesome and crazy last couple of weeks!
Mary and McKenna and I (and the Goldstons and Hiseys) worked nearly around the clock – going through 18 years of accumulated stuff here at The Harbor and sorting and throwing and pricing… until the rummage sale last weekend. What a huge success! This morning, we took about 2300 dollars to the bank!
PRAYER: This weekend we cruise over to Somerset Beach campground for our Annual Conference Family Camp. While there, Mary and I are supposed to sing (Saturday night!) – yikes. And we are hoping for many great conversations – for people to commit to join the dockyard and pray for us – and for people to commit to support this incredible ministry with the finances too!
CELEBRATE: During the garage sale, we had three goals: 1) talk about and invite people to The Harbor. 2) get rid of the stuff that’s in this building. 3) make a little money.
God answered our prayers on all three accounts! We had some really super conversations and handed out info to a whole bunch of people. And in every case, the people we talked with were very enthused about The Harbor and what we’re trying to do here! Momentum is building! Several filled out survey forms, to help us decide what classes to offer in September. And there were a few that stayed around a long time to hear more, and in one or two cases, committed to teaching a class! Wahoo!
I can’t thank God enough for the amazing volunteers through the week and prep time to help us with this rummage sale! So many helped, among them: the Lukes, the Dodds, the other Dodds, the Gronvalls, the Crydermans, the other Crydermans, the Kulagas, the Davis’, the Simonds, the Bumgardners, and of course the Hiseys and Goldstons!
We continue to pray about our house selling. Every month when we write our mortgage check, it hurts a bit.
Thanks so much for praying!
Mark, Mary, McKenna, Micah and Mariah
