They encourage churches and organizations to work together to support spiritual, academic, and social growth in these children. The organization also provides children in need assistance with hygiene kits, school supplies, summer camp scholarships, Summer Bible Camp, tutoring, Christmas gifts and more. They plan to use the donation to develop a tutorial program for children in Detroit for K-7.

“As the Bloomfield Charity Antiques and Collectibles Show celebrates its 60^th year, we are so delighted with its longevity and the ability it has given our church community to help local charities for so many years,” said Marilyn Nix, general show chairperson. “While others have come and gone, ours has grown from a church fundraiser to an important part of the antique show circuit not only to those in Michigan but stretching to international antique enthusiasts.”

Show Highlights

Thirty-five highly esteemed dealers from Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Indiana will sell an extensive variety of pieces.

Back by popular demand…. homemade pies! Delicious, fresh apple, pumpkin, pecan, and key lime home baked pies will be sold at the show’s Country Store to take home. You’ll also find a tasty assortment of scratch-made baked goods, candies, jellies, and pickles for sale. There will also be gluten-free baked items. The menu of the Country Café will include many delectable items including its famous Chicken Cherry Salad, gourmet sandwiches, comforting homecooked soups and mouthwatering sloppy joes. To enjoy the fall weather, there will be outside dining options available, weather permitting. All net proceeds from the Country Café and Country Store will be donated to this year’s chosen charitable organization.

The 60^th Bloomfield Charity Antiques and Collectibles Show will once again offer appraisals, excluding jewelry, by the fine art auctioneers from DuMouchelles on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 10 AM – 1 PM. Attendees can bring old family heirlooms that may be collecting dust and find out if they have historical and/or financial value. The cost is $10 per item with a limit of three items per person. Proceeds will benefit Gifts For All God’s Children.

Another favorite for the bargain hunters, “Estate Treasures for Charity” will feature items donated by Cross of Christ congregation members and sold at bargain prices to benefit this year’s charity.

Also returning this year are printed notecards of the awe-inspiring murals that adorn Cross of Christ Lutheran Church’s Light Center. The murals are original designs by local artist Matt LeBarre. The notecards will be sold exclusively at the 60^th Bloomfield Charity Antiques and Collectibles Show. They are packaged in boxes of 10 cards featuring five different images for $10 and proceeds will be donated to this year’s charity.

About the Show & Benefitting Charity

The annual Bloomfield Charity Antiques and Collectibles Show is a benefit event of Cross of Christ Lutheran Church and was first held in 1963 to raise money for the purchase of new choir robes. The show was a huge success, so the church continued to host it but chose to donate all proceeds to local charities. The Bloomfield Charity Antiques and Collectibles Show has always been run entirely by volunteers. Today it is one of the country’s longest running antique shows with all net proceeds going to charity.

Proceeds from the 60^th Bloomfield Charity Antiques and Collectibles Show will benefit Gifts For All God’s Children, a Rochester Hills-based organization started in 1987 focusing on the needs of underserved children while connecting them to Jesus.
