Grace UMC is hosting a silent auction on Nov. 9th, 2PM-5PM, in Ash Hall.
Recently Brian was diagnosed with brain cancer. Our purpose is to raise money for the
family during this very sad & difficult time. We want them to know they are not
facing this alone.
The silent auction will be an open house where you may come and go as you
please. Our GUMC praise band “Glorified” (started by Brian) will be performing as
well as other entertainers. Desserts and beverages will be provided. Please contact
Jane Taylor at 814-364-1857 to help with refreshments or donate a dessert. There is
also a sign-up sheet in the hallway.
Admission is free, however Love Offerings will be appreciated. Checks may be
made payable to GUMC; please write Brian Judy on the memo line.
Donations of items or services are being accepted for the auction. Please fill out a
pink slip, on the table in the sanctuary, and place in the offering plate. Please write the
value of the item as well. Thank you.
