FUNDraiser
When you make a purchase at the auction you help to fund the church. Every dollar you spend goes to
support our programs, ministries, and work in the wider community. The first $12,000 we raise helps to
fund our budget. After that, additional money goes to support our youth service trips, social justice
projects, and community service ministries.
FUNraiser
The Auction is FUN! It is also a community builder. Most of the events and parties for sale allow you to
connect with other members of our church community. Whether that’s a theme party you’ll attend with
fellow members or services you’ll receive from those in our community, the Auction will help you build
community.

What's New?
There are a whole bunch of new things we’re going to be trying this year. Thanks to a generous donor the Live Auction is going to begin with a GRAND PRIZE DRAWING. When you show up the night of the Auction and check in, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $500 gift certificate to the Apple Store!
Here are some other changes:
The Auction is TICKETLESS. There will be no tickets sold for the Auction this year. However, we do ask that you RSVP.
Food Committee Update: We know you’re going to get hungry as you peruse all of the wonderful offerings at the silent auction, so we’re expanding our potluck buffet. Please plan to bring one of the following: an aMAZing main dish, a scrumptious side dish, or a delicious dessert. Beer, wine, and non alcoholic beverages will be available.
