Shoppers will find gently used clothing for the whole family, shoes, fashion accessories, household goods, small appliances, toys, crafts and hobby supplies, costumes, seasonal décor, baby items, books, and other one-of-a-kind finds.
The semi-annual sale is organized by United Women in Faith at UMCL, with proceeds benefiting local nonprofits that serve women and children. The church has hosted rummage sales for more than 60 years, connecting gently used goods with people who can use them at an affordable price, and helping local charitable organizations.
"I've been involved in the rummage sale for forty years," said Kathie Slocum, UMCL's rummage sale chair. "The sale gives people a chance to find something nice, pretty, or useful — not necessarily a 'must have' — while helping them save money on things they do need. Customers wait in line for an hour before we open, and then wait again to pay after shopping, and they rarely complain."
Admission is free. Limited parking is available on site behind the church, with additional public parking nearby in two parking structures — one at Lake Street and Brainerd Avenue, and another at Brainerd and Church Street. Shoppers are encouraged to arrive early for the best selection.

The Count has returned—but darkness will not have the final word.
Improv Playhouse presents Bram Stoker’s Dracula in a gripping staged radio drama based on the original Orson Welles radio adaptation, with additional material drawn from Stoker’s classic novel.
As an ancient evil reaches from the mountains of Transylvania into the heart of Victorian England, a small band of courageous souls must stand together against Count Dracula. What begins as a journey into mystery and terror becomes a powerful struggle between darkness and light, despair and hope—and the forces that seek to possess the human soul.
IP's Dracula brings this legendary story to life through compelling performances, evocative lighting and realistic sound—awakening the theatre of the imagination.
Five performances only - Friday and Saturday evening from October 16-30, 2026. Shows at 7:30 PM. Doors open at 7:00 PM.
