The 29th Annual Talents and Treasures Auction is fast approaching on Sunday, November 6 at 12 noon at the KC Hall in Highland! Please mark your calendars and invite family and friends to join in the fun! Please consider donating your talents and treasures or soliciting your employer for donations for our event.
Auction Basket Board - Would you like to donate something for the EvUCC church auction, but don't want to create an entire basket alone? This is an opportunity for you! When you enter the church, look for the “Basket Board” in the lobby. Simply select an "tag" that interests you, buy just that item, and bring it back to church with the "tag" attached. The Auction Committee will create the baskets with the items that are brought in. Please have your items to the church by October 23. Thank you for considering the possibilities!
Talents and Treasures Auction Quilt Raffle - The quilters have once again handcrafted a beautiful quilt (see it in the lobby) to be raffled for the church auction on November 6th. Tickets are available in the church office.
