Is anybody out there in the market for a Jesus bobblehead? How about a therapist in a box? Or perhaps a green, sheared-mink coat strikes your fancy, for that special someone?

It’s still a week off, but mark your calendars now because it’s “holy crap!” time once again at St. Pauls United Church of Christ, 2335 N. Orchard St., You can find all the unusual items I just mentioned — and a whole lot more — at the church’s 2nd annual Shop the Steeple, a most heavenly rummage sale being held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sept. 10.

“You wouldn’t believe the holy crap we’ve got again,” said Jan Bail, one of three saintly event co-chairs working diligently to put the event together.

The church is maxed out with cool stuff. You might find something like German-made music boxes or dazzling crystal, china or silver in the Treasures Room. You’ll also find better housewares, beautiful clothing for adults and kids, jewelry, a Wedgewood tea set, a Marshall Field’s desk and tons more, including bobblehead Jesus, a.k.a. “The Affirmation.”

“Whenever I need a nod of approval I give him a little knock on the head,” laughed Bail.

Last year’s sale, the first ever, raised nearly $38,000. Bail said the event is a mixture of recycle, reuse and outreach.

Because besides all the fantastic bargains, what happens at the sale’s ending “is the best part,” she said. That’s because after the public shopping ends at 2 p.m., the church reopens a half-hour later and 28 local agencies, such as the Lincoln Park Community Shelter, are then invited to come in for a free shopping excursion and to fulfill wish lists.

“There’s so much good,” said Bail. “We embrace money for the church during these financial times, but this is even better.”

Bail and her two other co-chairs, Beverley Petrunich and Daniel Stober, are hoping to sing a big hallelujah again this year from another big community turnout. Petrunich recalled how last year, in the midst of the sale, a church member brought a shopper over and introduced him as someone who lived in the neighborhood back for his third trip to the sale, because each time he couldn’t carry any more home. Apparently, the man was an architect who lived in a nearby high-rise that looks out on St. Pauls’ steeple. The man said he had always admired the building, but had never had an opportunity to come inside. Once in, he was thrilled to see the magnificent stained-glass windows, Petrunich said.

He wasn’t alone, according to Petrunich.

“Our front door greeters also commented that other shoppers were delighted that they also had an opportunity to come inside a church that they had passed by so many times,” said Petrunich. “We were all surprised because our sign on the corner says that, ‘We welcome you whoever you are on life’s journey.’ Yet people did not know that they are truly welcome, so the rummage sale now provides that opportunity.”

And whatever you take home, the church’s associate pastor, Jeff Carlson, has made sure it’ll be a truly blessed item. In fact, he penned the following blessing to make sure you’re covered by a higher power:

“God, you know the story behind each blanket and book, each shirt and spoon. You know the hands that made them, used them, gave them, and the hands that will use them again. Bless each hand that is part of that story, and bless our own hands as we work together. Bless each item we touch to carry joy and laughter, goodness and blessing into its new home. God bless our rummage.

“Amen.”
