First Congregational Church of Oakland
So, you're coming to our 150th Anniversary Expressive Arts Worship at 7pm tonight for great music, dance, mime, a craft show, and great company, right?

Okay, good. Now that we've got that straight...let the bidding begin! Our online silent auction to benefit FCCO has officially launched! You can bid on great services, fine art, gourmet food, etc. for yourself or for those on your holiday gift list, and all the proceeds will go to support your favorite multicultural, social justice oriented, arts-positive church.

To view the items, go to this link and click on the items that interest you. To bid, you will need to create an account, but don't worry. It only takes a second and asks for very minimal contact information (so that we can let you know when you've won!).

Then have at it! And if you want to guarantee that no one outbids you, click on the "buy now" option to pay the price that will reserve the item for you.

Payment will be due (cash or check made out to FCCO only) after December 10.

Please forward this to everyone you know in the Bay area! The more bidders, the more money we raise. We've set a goal of raising at least $2000 from this auction.

If you have any problems or questions, please let me know, and I'll do my best to get them resolved.



Thanks!
