Art of Creation Auction

Art of Creation Missions Fundraiser

January 31 – February 13

Members of Harrisburg United Methodist Church have created and donated art pieces inspired by Genesis 1&2 to sell in an online auction to benefit the missions of our church. Our God gifts each of us with talents and gifts to be used to point others to God’s goodness and the good news of God at work in us and the world. It is our hope that what you see will inspire you and remind you of the beauty of Creation and talents of others.

All proceeds from this auction will support missions including support to local families in need, Rise Against Hunger, Room in the Inn and the Charlotte Rescue Mission, Youth missions, the Salvation Army shelter, and Harrisburg Crisis Assistance Ministry. We hope you will have fun trying to out give one another in support of God’s work in our community.
