CHS Auction Update

Our annual Service Auction is coming soon! This year's theme is Bountiful Harvest and we are hoping you will help us celebrate this very special event in our church life. Our auction will take place Saturday, Nov 18, at 6:30 PM, here at CHS.

We are providing a delicious array of finger foods for you to enjoy as you browse the offerings in our Silent and Live auctions. This bountiful harvest will also include several home style desserts to complete the meal.

Be sure to mark your calendar with the date and plan to join us for a festive evening. Seating will be limited so be sure to get your tickets when they become available in September.

We would also appreciate any help you can give with donations for the auction. This is our only fundraiser so its importance cannot be understated. There is a list of donation suggestions below. Consider joining with another family or person to make a donation with a bigger impact.Any questions, please contact Jane Paradiso <janeparadiso55@gmail.com>.

We need donations of items and services (yes, it's a service auction!) to make this work.  Here are some suggestions - and feel free to think of your own - but let's get those donations coming in now.
