The Vassalboro United Methodist Church (VUMC) is holding a “Yard and Plants Sale” on Saturday, June 7, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., on the same day as the Vassalboro town-wide yard sales. Good quality items of all kinds will be available, including two church pews removed from the sanctuary earlier this year. The antique pews were moved in 1988 from the old East Vassalboro Methodist Church, on Bog Road, to the VUMC Methodist church, at 614 Main Street.

There will be indoor and outdoor/garden plants for sale as well as some gardening items and more! Donations of perennials and annuals for the plant sale would be appreciated, as would yard sale items except no clothing is needed. PLEASE do not drop off anything at the VUMC without pre-arranging by calling (207) 873-5564 or email info.vumc@gmail.com. Lunches including a grilled hot dog, chips and a drink will be available for as long as supplies last for a suggested donation of $5.

Guided tours of the church sanctuary will also be available, which holds many historic items from the 19th century North and East Vassalboro churches – including the pews in use and seven stained glass windows. This is also an opportunity to see the newly installed VUMC lift/elevator.
