UNITED CHURCH News:

All-things autumn and Halloween will fill Graves Hall, awaiting shoppers for the annual Halloween re-sale Wednesday, Oct. 5 at the United Church, 2525 Canyon Road.

This is the place to get a thrifty head-start on costumes, decorations, clothes, books and miscellaneous goods for the autumn holidays.

Parking is by the Thrift Shop, which also will be open at the same time, but please follow the signs to Graves Hall for the big Halloween sale.

The Thrift Shop is operated by the Women’s Christian Service Society (WCSS) of the United Church, and open for shoppers 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesdays. All proceeds from sales go to WCSS Mission activities locally in Northern New Mexico.

Donations of gently used and clean clothes, linens, housewares, jewelry, shoes, toys, and books (but not textbooks) may be dropped off any time at the bins near the Thrift Shop door off of Canyon Road. Regretfully, textbooks, large appliances, furniture, or VHS tapes cannot be accepted.
