Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine,
you did for me. Matthew 25:40
We are having a HUGE Fundraiser on Saturday, November 12th from 5-7pm, to try and raise the money needed to host 3 orphan teenagers this Christmas with the intent to adopt, Lord willing. We will be sending invites out this week. We had to change the date from Nov 19th because all of the money is due on Nov 15th.
This event will be a Silent Auction and Dinner. We are not doing anything fancy as far as dinner goes but it will be a Hot Dog Dinner with all the fixins. We will be having hot dogs, baked beans, potato chips, salads, soda, sweet tea, etc. There will be a requested $5 donation for the meal and then an opportunity to fellowship. That's the best part, right?! We will end the night announcing the auction winners. You will be able to take home what you win or can arrange to pick it up at a later date.
The Auction will be held at Colonial Baptist Church in the Cafe. Here are a few things that are already confirmed that we will be auctioning:
- Family Night Package consisting of movie rentals, soda, popcorn, movie candy and a family board game.
- Photography Session Package
- Chiropractic Exam/Service and a Massage
- Scrapbooking Basket
- Pampered Chef / Cooking Basket
- Dental Package worth $1140!!!!
- Starbucks basket
- Home Power washing and Gutter Cleaning Service
- Golf Packages
There will be a LOT more offered. I will continue to update as we get baskets completed. If you would like to donate a basket, please let me know.
