GOING ... GOING ... GONE!

Wow! What a night!

On Saturday, April 9, the congregation of Allegheny Lutheran Church, Knauers, held a goods-and-services auction to raise money for the World Hunger Appeal. In just three hours, with donations of nearly 100 items to auction, the generous folks of Allegheny raised a whopping $10, 301.00!

One of the items in the auction was a wooden bowl made and donated by a young member of Allegheny, Jonas Fiant, age 9. Jonas’ bowl was purchased for $470!

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans supported the event with a supplemental gift of $1,000, raising the total to $11, 301.00 that will be sent to fight world hunger.

If your congregation would like more information on how to plan a similar event, call Allegheny Lutheran Church and they will put you in touch with the Auction Committee. Or contact Bev Breniser at bevbreniser@frontiernet.net.
