DR Live Auction and Picnic Lunch
|
|
On Pentecost Sunday, May 19
|
As the 19 members of the DR Mission "go team" prepare for the 12th year of working in the village of El Pedregal, June 15 - 22, we invite our "home team" to come to the live auction and picnic lunch following the 10 a.m. Sunday service, May 19. For a donation of $5 each there will be food, fun for the children in an outdoor bounce house, and several large items auctioned to raise scholarship, knitting and construction funds for our mission projects. We hope to take enough funds to support 25 children at $350 each, the cost of a full one-year scholarship. If you would like to sponsor a scholarship or go together with others to do so, please contact the Rev. Tar Drazdowski. Come to the picnic, learn about what we do in the DR, and help celebrate one of our signature outreach missions!
This year's auction to support our DR Mission will feature 13 large items at live auction. They include paintings and artwork by well-known local artists, vacation weekends, season tickets to the Peach State Summer Theatre, a 1-hour airplane ride around Lowndes County and more. To see a complete list with values, click here. Be prepared to outbid the low bidders to support our missionaries. You are the Home Team! The Go Team depends on you.
