Current Needs
Silent Auction
Our church will be holding our 3rd annual Silent Auction that will coincide with the Vision Dinner on February 15. All proceeds will benefit Mosaic Virginia and Homestretch, so we encourage you to acquaint yourself with each Mercy partner.
We again want to provide Family Groups an opportunity to work together to help with the Silent Auction and are asking each FG to consider providing two or more donations for the auction. Each FG can determine how they want to contribute donations as a group. See the weekly newsletter to view and add to the Donations Sheet.
All physical donations need to be dropped off with Mark or Brit Walden by Sunday, February 8. Please contact Brit if you have any questions.

2. Become a mentor with Project Belong's Don't Go Alone (DGA) Program for aged-out foster youth.
3. Pray for our current Care Communities and for our current DGA mentors.
