Silent Auction Update

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful time I had at the Silent Auction. It was great to see so many people turn out to share in the food, fun, and fellowship of the event! Thank you to those who donated items. Thank you to everyone who bid on items. And a big thank you to the Dieck family and the members of the Finance Committee for providing the food and cleaning up afterwards. As a result of everyone’s generous efforts we raised $841, which will be applied to Current to help offset the church deficit.                                            Jenny Blank
