Thrift Sale

The Thrift Sale is BACK! Our 2022 Thrift Sale will be held Saturday, June 18, from 9:00am to 2:00pm. 

We will be having a more typical indoor Thrift Sale this year, but there will be some differences from past years. We welcome donations of new or gently used clothing, kitchenware, books/DVDs/CDs/puzzles, games & toys, and sporting goods.

To ensure safe spacing between tables and areas, NO furniture or electronics will be accepted. Please check with us if you are unsure if an item can be donated. Standard plastic grocery bags are needed and can be brought with your donations. Volunteers are needed to help setup throughout the week and especially on Friday afternoon/evening. For continued safety, we encourage donors, shoppers, and volunteers to wear masks.

The Thrift Sale has always been a wonderful outreach, fellowship, environmentally friendly, and fundraising opportunity. We look forward to another successful event and thank you in advance for your support.

Our annual parish Thrift Sale sale features gently used clothing, household goods, white elephant objects, toys (in good shape), books, CD’s, DVDs, and more. Clothing is sold by the bag.

The Thrift Sale is a wonderful example of stewardship in the broadest sense of the word: it’s a fun way for parishioners to collectively recycle what God has given us, while providing goods and clothing at reasonable prices to those who can benefit from them. All unsold items are donated to local charities.

If you have gently used items to donate, the church accepts donations on the following schedule, the week before the sale:

  • Sunday: 12:00 to 2:30pm
  • Monday: 6:00 to 8:00pm
  • Tuesday: 9:00am to 1:00pm; 6:00pm to 8:00pm
  • Wednesday: 9:00am to 1:00pm; 6:00pm to 8:00pm
  • Thursday: 9:00am to 1:00pm; 6:00pm to 9:00pm
  • Friday: 9:00am to 1:00pm; 4:00pm to 9:00pm

Please note that we cannot accept stuffed animals, VHS tapes, large furniture, large rugs, stained or ripped clothing, or board games and puzzles that are missing pieces.

For more information about the Thrift Sale, please contact the parish office at 781-275-8262, or visit us online at www.stpaulsbedford.org.

 

Outreach

The Outreach Committee coordinates congregational activities such as regular mission trips and Bread for the World’s annual Offering of Letters. In addition, we participate locally in the Bedford Community Table and Food Pantry, the Diocese’s B-SAFE summer youth program, several knitting ministries (including Project Linus), and other local activities.

Worship & Music

Worship is the centerpiece of our life together in Christ. Our adult choir sings at every Sunday service. We rehearse at 7:00pm on Thursday evenings and 9:00am on Sunday mornings, before church. The children’s choir sings approximately once a month, on Family Sundays, and rehearses Sundays after church.

Education

At St. Paul’s we believe that we are all continually striving to understand our relationship with God more fully. Children’s education on Sundays uses the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for preschoolers and a Kairos model for elementary ages. High school and middle school youth groups meet monthly. Adult education takes place through study groups and learning forums.

Fellowship

St. Paul’s is a family of God, and as a family, we enjoy being together, sharing our time, our interests, and our faith. We share food and fellowship at weekly and annual events throughout the year. We also provide meals, rides, prayers, and other support for our members in times of need through our Inreach Committee.
