St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will hold its annual Book and Hot Dog Sales to coincide with the Brockport Sidewalk Sale, Thursday, July 10, through Saturday, July 12, at 14 State Street, Brockport.
Book Sale hours are: Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon.Hot Dog Sale hours are Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“People tell us they look forward to our book sale each year and come prepared to stock up on all their favorite authors. It is fun 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, spearheaded 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 in 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 in need. 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.
“A huge thank you to the Brockport Wegmans, Walmart, and Hamlin Tops for their generous donations, which make the hot dog stand possible,” says Catlin.
All are welcome to 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.
