CAMP MIPC Student Ministries Auction

Dear MIPC Members and Friends,

We invite you to page through the many exciting and creative items in this year's Silent Auction Catalog. On Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 5:30 p.m., we are having CAMP MIPC, our Student Ministry Auction. We will gather together as a community to participate in a Silent Auction, eat Breakfast for Dinner, participate in Campfire Games and learn more about our Mission Trips. CAMP MIPC will take place at Mercer Island Presbyterian Church and we will be providing nursery care for babies and toddlers, as well as games and activities for elementary aged children.

Some auction items are annual favorites while many others are new, exciting and different. There is something for everyone! It is always fascinating to see what new talents and opportunities are available for sharing.

Your participation in the auction is crucial to the success of the Student Ministry here at MIPC. Your monetary contributions and physical “presence” provide both expected and unexpected blessings. There is a community-building ripple effect for all of us when we come together for this type of fellowship; - We build community at the event; - We build community while experiencing auction items such as; bicycle rides, sport outings,

sign-up dinners, and other once-in-a-lifetime events offered; - Our youth will build community with each other AND those they serve in homeless

ministries (Portland and LA mission trips, Youth Care) and house-building in Mexico.

With this event, in community together, we get to share and enjoy creative activities and experiences while also strengthening bonds that transcend years, generations and even borders.

We extend a heartfelt THANK YOU for your generous donations of time, treasure and talent. Our students thank you as well; as they will grow and learn from the unique opportunities of MIPC Student Ministries. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, March 4 at 5:30 p.m.!

Sincerely,

Student Ministries Auction Committee
