Please join us for our 2018 service auction. Keeping with our 70th Anniversary saying: Open Minds, Loving Hearts, 70 Years Together will be our theme. Our evening will start with a happy hour at 4:00pm featuring appetizers, beer, wine, and soft drinks. Then enjoy our pot-luck meal – salad, main dish, side dish, and well as a vast selection of desserts.

Pay attention to our newest category called “I Want What I Want”. This is a way for you to request a service that you want to be done at a flat rate that you will pay to the church. Then if someone agrees to perform the I Want What I Want service, the task is done for you and the church gets the funds. A win-win effort!

During the entire evening be prepared to have fun together. Fun bidding on the many offers at the auctions as you enjoy a most memorable evening. Be sure to experience it all – The Food, The Live Auction, The Silent Auction, The Signups, and I Wants What I Want.

Admission: $10.00 per person or $5.00 with a potluck food dish for the meal. Children are free and childcare is available with activities for the kids.

What could YOU offer at the auction? If you are planning a specific event, please set a date so people can plan. If the event is for a specific number of people, please tell us. All kind of offerings and goods are appreciated. If you want someone to pet sit, or drive you to the airport, or help you with a house chore, submit your “I Want What I Want” service offer. Fill out the Service Auction Donation online form to make your service auction offer.
