Baked goods for the Food for Thought table will be accepted on Sunday October 31st from 9 till 12, and then on Monday, Nov. 1st, from 8 am. Come help work the sale, buy books, enjoy a great lunch, celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the sale or all the above. I find it hard to believe that the book sale is as old as the parish I previously served. I also find it marvelous. There is something of a resurrection story to be found in the pages of so many volumes over so many years.
Book are essentially no good without being read.
Over the course of the months and years books come continuously to Trinity dumped or crated in boxes. Often they are dusty, and sometimes they are musty. Some are old and others are young, many are wounded by life. Some have the voice of children, and other have the wisdom of years. When they arrive here they are treated with care, not unlike the care shown when Mary Magdalene went to the garden.
