Saturday, July 21, will be the Grand Opening of St. Paul Melrose Park’s Resale Shop. In keeping with their vision “to intentionally meet the needs of our community…” the resale shop was established to provide quality goods and furnishings to the local community at reasonable prices.
St. Paul has been focusing on health and wellness ministry for both the church and surrounding communities. They recently coordinated efforts with Oak Park YMCA and Westlake Hospital, hosting a ten week Fitness and Nutrition Program. The group led in exercises, appropriate for all age groups. In addition, at times, a registered dietician was available to provide helpful information on healthy eating as well as complimentary health screenings for important health markers. Programs were also held at local libraries on such topics as practical application of exercise for strong brain function and personal, family and community health.
Proceeds from the resale shop will support Lutheran missions, schools and projects. St. Paul Lutheran Church is located at 1025 W. Lake Street, Melrose Park, Illinois, 60160.
For those wishing to donate to the resale shop, clean, usable items are accepted during business hours. No large appliances, computer equipment or televisions will be accepted. Pick up of large furniture can be arranged by calling Marlene at 708-719-4443 X402.
