A recap of our second annual event!
Our second annual Brecksville Flea at BUMC was held August 9, 2025! On a beautiful, blue sky summer day, 27 vendors filled the church parking lot and fellowship hall with their wares – and the community came out to shop and enjoy the day together.
From vintage clothing, to household decor and furniture, to handcrafted jewelry and framed art and photography, there was something for everyone. Our popular “Nothing But Games and Puzzles” tent returned and did brisk sales. The Missions Team gave a hands on demonstration on how to weave sleeping mats out of disposable shopping bags. Our church information table expanded to include bakery and cookbook sales. And the Volunteers in Mission Team served delicious pulled pork sandwiches to satisfy hungry shoppers.
The church “garage sale” portion of the sale expanded, accepting donated items in a longer window, which meant a lot more inventory to share. Even after doing $1395 in sales, we still had 7,459 pounds of items to donate to Volunteers for America after the Flea closed.
All proceeds will help Brecksville UMC continue to be a place where the community can gather – for worship, weddings, funerals, classes, recovery group meetings, pre-school, recitals, exercise classes, music lessons, scouts and more. We are all about creating safe spaces to grow with God and one another!
Our 27 vendors included several returning from our 2024 event along with some new faces. Their registration fees, combined with items sold by Brecksville UMC brought in $3,642 to help offset our budget deficit. That’s $1500 more than last year!
