SPREE--June 13, 2009
Oakmont United Methodist Church
916 Oak Grove Rd. Homewood, AL 35209
(205) 942-4622


The United Methodist Women's group at my church has always had a "Trash & Treasures" sale. In recent years it has been in conjunction with the Men's Club BBQ. Last year it was a consignment sale. We were trying to decide what to do for this year when I came up with the idea of SPREE. As a Team Leader for The Pampered Chef, I am always looking for events in the community in which to showcase my awesome products and meet new people. I thought it would be fabulous to provide this opportunity in our community to other people in the same boat as me such as Lisa McCracken with Mary Kay. The event is not exclusive, however to business owners. It is open to anyone who would like to purchase a table. There will be folks selling yard sale items, arts & crafts, monogramming, plant sale, bake sale, wood working, etc. The environment will be laid back and spirit filled and God will be glorified in this event. SPREE will be held in the church gym and the BBQ will be in the fellowship hall. The purpose of this event is to raise money for the UMW as an annual fundraiser for our church. I am so looking forward to this event and all that God has in store for our church through this project.

It has been amazing to see His work as we have been preparing for the event. We wore our bright blue T-shirts screen printed by Jones Sportswear to We Love Homewood Day to advertise our event. Birminghammom.com was nice enough to advertise our event on her calendar for free. Our church members have come together and raised an amazing amount of money for much needed repairs in the gym in preparation for this event. So many have donated their time, money & prayers. It is a beautiful testimony of God's love and the coming together of His people.

If you're reading this, I hope you will plan to come by and see what SPREE is all about. We are looking forward to a great time. Tell your friends to come by as well. For more info visit Oakmont's website at: http://www.oakmontmethodist.org
