Art will be sold to the highest silent bidder.  Art from private collections include: original paintings by Ronald Lewis and David Corliss, watercolors, hand-dyed woven tapestries, framed and matted photographs, hand-stitched pictures and an antique kimono. In addition to the silent auction, many interesting pieces will be sold on a Cash and Carry basis. The church accepts cash, checks, Venmo and Zelle (no credit cards).
  • Market Day, July 19: Mountain Brook shoppers can score some good deals at the 24th annual Market Day event in Mountain Brook Village and Lane Parke on Saturday. The shopping event began in the early 2000s as a way to commemorate the French holiday Bastille Day. It has since morphed into a highly anticipated summer event that highlights Mountain Brook retailers. Shoppers can browse the European-style sidewalk sale and enjoy discounted prices that many of the featured merchants will offer all day.
