Pastor Godwin and the Auctioneer for the Live Auction
Lead Pastor Eric Godwin talked with KSST about the evenings event and history. “Last year’s event raised enough money to pay down our church debt and give a portion to local and global missions. This year we hope to raise enough money to reach our goal of being debt free. We’ve gained so much more in relationships than we have earned in currency. ” Pastor Godwin explained that his church values and focuses on the relationships that they are able to make in this endeavor as they come together to reach their goal.
Auction items were donated by church members, various businesses and leaders from the community. Highlights of the auctions included: hunting trips, beautiful, handmade quilts, craftsman watches, rustic furniture, wooden crosses, decorative signs, paintings, lanterns and a variety of other eclectic items.
