St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will hold its Annual Book and Hot Dog Sales to coincide with the Village of Brockport’s Annual Sidewalk Sale, Thursday, July 9, through Saturday, July 11, at 14 State Street, Brockport. Book Sale hours are Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Hot Dog Sale runs Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“People tell us they look forward to our book sale each year and come prepared to stock up on their favorite authors. We enjoy welcoming them back as they share their joy of reading and pleasure in shopping our sale,” says Ricki DeBaun, who, with Committee Co-Chair and fellow St. Luke’s member Katherine Kristansen, spearheads the three-day event.
St. Luke’s collects diverse reading materials throughout the year for adults, teens, and children, including hundreds of hardcovers and paperbacks across all genres, plus puzzles, CDs, and DVDs. “The money we raise from the Book Sale is used to help fund our community mission projects. It’s a way of giving back to the community while serving God and one another,” says DeBaun. “Saturday, the final day of the sale, books are sold by the bag full, but you will want to shop early for best selections.”
St. Luke’s Annual Hot Dog Sale helps to fund Luke’s Layettes, the Parish’s mission to provide baby clothes, diapers, and much more for families welcoming their first child. Rosemary Catlin and Celia Berry oversee Luke’s Layettes, ensuring the shelves are fully stocked with essentials for moms and babies. “It is always a joy to be able to help moms and dads welcome their newborn infants. We receive calls from community service organizations, parents, grandparents, and even friends of families throughout the year, letting us know the need is great. Luke’s Layettes is a way of helping to meet this need while extending a warm welcome to our newest neighbors,” said Catlin.
“Thanks to the generous support of the Brockport Wegmans, Walmart, and Hamlin Tops, all proceeds from the sale go to fund Luke’s Layettes,” says Catlin.
Stop in and browse the book sale and enjoy a hot dog, soda, and chips while helping to support St. Luke’s missions and service to the community.
