YARD GIVE 2024

YARD GIVE

What is Yard Give?  It’s like a yard sale BUT…we give everything away for FREE! We collect the best of our extra household items, clothes, furniture, and toys and give them away to our community. Yard Give is an annual event at Restoration. We do this as an expression of God’s love. We believe that God loved the world and gave His Son, Jesus, freely as His gift to us. We want to model that love by giving the community some of our best items, freely, just because we want them to know they’re loved. Check out the video above to see some of the highlights from last year's Yard Give!

Yard Give is an outreach event that we do each year in light of 1 John 4:19, that says “We love because He first loved us” and of Matthew 5:16 which says “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.”

This is the mission of Yard Give - to give our very best and love our community well, because God has loved us first and given us His best gift through His son, Jesus.

PRAYER POINTS FOR YARD GIVE 2024

We would love for you to join us in covering Yard Give in prayer beginning now. For those of you who are
unable to physically volunteer for the Yard Give, this is great way that you can play an extremely
important part in the event.
Would you considering partnering with our church family in this endeavor and commit to praying over the
Yard Give? Some specific ways that you can join us in praying are:
  • Pray for an abundance of volunteers so that we can have the most successful Yard Give possible.
  • Pray for our donors and that they would be blessed as they begin to set aside their very best “extras” to donate.
  • Reflect on the love that God has for you and thank him in prayer. Pray that God will empower our volunteers to show this type of love to each other and to the community at Yard Give. "We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19.
  • Pray that the details for Yard Give will fall into place and that everyone involved will have a sense of anticipation and excitement for what God has planned through this event.
  • As we approach the week of December 4th , pray for the health of and protection over our volunteers and that we would have many opportunities for Gospel conversations over this week. Ask God to prepare the hearts of those who will hear the gospel. Pray that they will respond by giving their lives to Jesus and that all those who attend might "see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in Heaven". Matthew 5:16
