Jumble sale for religion teachers

A jumble sale will be held on Saturday, July 7, from 9:30am until 12:30pm at Hope Church Umina.

The sale will be held by Restore op shop, which pays for two religion teachers at Brisbane Water Secondary College.

The shop opened in March 2010 and is staffed by volunteers who are mainly from local churches.

The churches are all represented on the Religious Education Ministries Board (REM), first begun by the Ministers Association in 1988.

The first teacher was employed in 1989 and teachers have been provided by the REM Board for the 23 years since.

They not only teach religion but participate in other school activities, including sports, as well as being a comfort and support to troubled youth.

For jumble sale inquiries, contact Judy on 4339 2145.
