Our theme this year is “Coming Home,” and the event will benefit Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity, which builds homes in partnership with low-income families. Entertainment for the evening is folk music (including some sing-along!), especially in tribute to Pete Seeger, who died in January but was an important voice for social justice as well as a legendary songwriter.

As in previous years, the event will include a silent auction of items that reflect the creativity and talents of our members and friends. Past-year items have included hand-sewn grocery bags, knitted shawls, babysitting and carpentry services, original artwork, and garden plants. The possibilities are as endless as our creative energy!

Start planning and crafting now; tickets will go on sale in the Gathering Area and through the church office on April 17. Auction items may be delivered to the church between May 4 and 11.

Plan to join us for an event that is fun fellowship, a celebration of our collective gifts, and to benefit Habitat’s work in our community!
