Feast for Funds!

Feast for Funds is a great way to have fun, enjoy delicious food, and meet new friends while raising money to support the many wonderful programs at First Church! It is a church-wide dining auction. Thanks go to the many members and friends who participated in Feast for Funds 2012. This year's auction was a huge success - raising about $24,000! The success depended on wonderful hosts and willing bidders…here at First Church we have both!

Events were widely varied and included dinner with Senior Minister Drew Kennedy and his wife Lois Wesener, a Mexican Train Fiesta with Associate Minister Dena McPhetres, a Taste of Africa, and an Oscar Night Party.

2012 Winning Hosts & Bidders!
