As we gear up for the 93rd Annual Morrow Turnover Sale, here's a look back through the archives.

This feature ran in The Star-Ledger on July 1, 1993, opening day of the 60th sale. It celebrates the late Barbara Bauble and the late Mary Auth, two Turnover champions who co-chaired the sale together for nearly a decade. The reporter called it "Maplewood's Miracle on Baker Street," a nickname that's stuck ever since.

A few details that haven't changed in 33 years: the swarms of shoppers, the easy checkout, the camaraderie of setup nights, and the quiet certainty that someone, somewhere, will find exactly what they didn't know they needed.

First drop-off day is June 13. The sale opens June 25. Are you ready?

A maple, in Maplewood. The Sunday school teachers (read: the moms) got a Sunday off. The kids got dirt under their nails and a lesson in patience: 130 years ago, a Sunday school class posed in front of a ginkgo sapling (right hand side of the last photo). That sapling is now the sprawling tree behind the group in the second photo. Give this new one a century or so! 🌱

This Earth Day, we’re looking up ☀️

In 2019, thanks to the generosity of Fred and Sue Profeta and other church members, Morrow took a meaningful step in caring for God’s creation by installing solar panels on the roof of our Fellowship Hall—now generating a significant portion of the church’s electricity and significantly reducing our carbon footprint.

It’s part of a broader commitment to stewardship: from energy-efficient lighting to community-wide sustainability efforts, we believe faith shows up in how we care for the world around us.
