Our annual auction was a great success this year, bringing together over 100 in the fun live and silent auctions and raising just over $24,000 for the church!  A huge thank you to our donors, bidders, auction volunteers, and entertainers that made it all happen.  And a special thanks to Marc Doepner-Hove, Brian and Karen Zais, and Jason Brechin, for producing the live auction.  We’ll see you next year!
