"The Bomber and TRM Team-up"

Our Car washes each month are so much fun!  We meet so many great people and have a wonderful opportunity to introduce the ministry.

It is a TRM effort to bring the kids out to experience working as a team and giving their time.  They love to dress up and "flag the cars in"!  Their just "naturals" at it!  Fun for the whole family, and a great time to be together!

Look for our updates on the month, time, and details here on our event page or in our Thiessen Roadhouse newsletters and flyers.

Mark your Calendars Now!

 2008 Thiessen Roadhouse Spring, Summer, & Fall Workdays are now in Progress!  We have not set particular dates this year, because of everyone's busy schedules, so we are just asking you or your group to come by when you have time to help. 

Just because it is another year, does not mean volunteers take time off!  We at TRM have experienced first hand each volunteers dedication, showing up, and following through with what they started.  Their motto has been, and now ours, "We will all keep showing up until the work is done!"

Each one of you incredible people are special to us in all you have done.  We will have a list of things to do, so you can prepare your group and know what to bring.

These are a few things that each of you can accomplished:

* Outside raking/pruning/trimming/digging/hauling * Hours of housework &  Window washing * Moving things/setting up/tearing down, always!    *Lots of "hands on of holding the babies!" * We always make time for fellowship. "  Bring a lunch for yourself, we have the juice or water, or if your group comes, let us know and we can potluck and put it all together for a creative banquet!

We thank the Lord for each one of you! Looking forward to seeing you again to share your faithfulness, friendship, and your labors of love!"  Bring your tools and someone new!

 TRM 1ST YARD SALE OF THE YEAR SUCCESSFUl

July 4th Sale was a wonderful time!

This was our first yard sale of the year.  The weather was in between showers, mild, but nice.  We had a nice turn out due to the 4th of July, and the next day on the 5th.  We got to see a lot of old faces and committed yard sale supporters!   There was a lot of variety of goods to select from and everyone got their "Treasure" to take home!  Most items were donated by you, the community, this form of recycling demonstrates a unique partnership of community outreach and results.  We were contented to make $300 plus, for our first sale.  Our next one will be July 31st, August 1st & 2nd. 

PLEASE JOIN US!

Thiessen Roadhouse Ministries are always taking "QUALITY" donations and hand selected items for the upcoming yard sales.  These items are sorted and distributed, first to the needs of TRM and mothers.  Next items are given to families in need in our community.  Each of you have been such wonderful instruments of giving from your hearts, benefiting so many.  Most of you know TRM over the years from the ministry itself, networking yard sales in the neighborhood, or by word or mouth.  We are recieving at least one or two calls a week for pick-up or delivery.  You all have helped us considerably by dropping off your donations, saving us time and gas money.  We also enjoy meeting some of you at our sales or chatting on the phone or on line.  Please remember to take a donation slip that is available on the porch for your tax purposes. 

It has been fun and a great challenge preparing and serving in the community, but most of all seeing you all again! Sometimes we do not have enough helpers for undertaking such events, so please feel led to come and join us.  There is so much for everyone to do, and having fun at the same time!  Our next sale will be on July 31st, August 1st and 2nd.  We will be selling homemade cookies, cakes, jams & jellies, or anything that you would like to bring, along with our regular items.  It will also include handmade items for kitchen, household, family items, children's items, and etc.  Tell your talented friends to make something "Unique" to share!  We are also inviting you to join us with a table of your own.  It is a great partnering time!  Think of the wonderful "treasures" together we can sell and at the same time add that special flare, to the
