Does your church have initials NHBC ? I did a stall there a couple of years back and barely made money back. It wasn't directly with church though was an All for Kids one, was maybe in October. Toys sold ok but was only after a dollar, people weren't interested in clothes really, people who did well were the handmade or designer from Europe stalls.
If you have a big item that will cover the stall fee can be worth it but otherwise I think have to sell too much to cover costs.
Carribean gardens (scoresby) have one that only costs 5 dollars and they take everything left to charity shops if you like. It is a Friday though.
I did one a few years ago at the Baby & Kids Market, back when I thought we were stopping at 2. We had a cradle, swing/rocker thing, heaps of clothes, smaller toys, wraps/blankets and about 40 MCNs (greenkids). My nappies sold literally within 10 minutes of the market opening and I could have sold them a dozen times over. Basically I sold everything except for probably half the clothes. I had decent to higher end stuff priced what I thought was reasonably ($1-$5 per piece for most things) but brought most of it home and then gave it to Good Sammies. I don't remember exactly how much we made, but it was close to $2K so well and truly worthwhile
If you don't want to do a market there is a pretty good second hand market on various facebook pages for MCNs
