Auction and Talent Show

First Church of Christ in Wethersfield will be holding their annual Auction and Talent Show on Saturday, March 26th.  This popular event is open to the public and draws people from many surrounding towns.  All the proceeds will support youth mission trips this summer. 

Silent Auction
The silent auction would not be possible without the generosity of local merchants, businesses and individuals.  You will “feel good” when you see hundreds of gift certificates, items, gift baskets and services that have been thoughtfully donated for this special cause.  Some of the donors include:  Firestone, J. Gilbert’s, Pazzo’s, Chili’s, Town Line Diner, City Fish, Bed, Bath, Beyond, Dakota’s, Saybrook Fish House, Premier Cleaners, Domino’s Pizza, Vito’s, United Paint & Wallpaper, Lyman Hills Golf, Indian Hill Golf, Wethersfield Country Club, Denny’s, Traveler’s Championship, Mark Twain House, Chmirri’s, Outback, Wooden Toy, Red Lobster, Scott’s Music, Heart of the Country, Main Street Creamery, Ming Dynasty, Olive Garden, Wood N Tap & more!  
People return every year to pick up quality goods and services – and quite a few bargains too!

Talent Show
The entertainment is a true variety show involving talent of all ages and abilities: professionals, pre-professionals and children donating their time to support a great cause.  You are guaranteed to “feel good” and smile a lot!

The Mission Teams
The teams that will go out this summer include a lot of young people, mostly of high school age.  We can all “feel good” about their desires to help those who are less fortunate than themselves.   In July they will travel to the Dominican Republic to serve the Haitians with hospital construction, food and clothing distribution, running medical clinics in the sugar cane fields and sharing the love of the Lord through works of mercy and evangelism.  All proceeds go directly to supporting these trips and purchasing needed supplies.

Don’t miss this fun, affordable event for all ages!  You will “feel good” about the donors, the entertainment and the young people who want to help others!
