The 2024 Holiday Fair’s Silent Auction Team Still Could Really Use Your Support: *NEW* Amazon Registry Makes This The Easiest Year EVER To Contribute!

The Holiday Fair is Saturday, November 16th, 2024. We would love to have your support for the Silent Auction and there are many ways in which you can donate; with your time, your talents, or financially. If you would like to volunteer your time and talents, please contact Doris-Ann at vosselerd@mersd.org.

If you would like to make a donation, here are some donation suggestions that would be of interest to bidders:

• New or like-new gift items. If you have a beautiful vase that you’ve never used or a gift still in its original package, this would be an excellent donation.
• Art objects such as paintings, watercolors, quilts, or other handmade items.
• Gift certificates to local restaurants and stores, such as Home Depot, Target, or Whole Foods. Support both our local businesses and the church by purchasing a gift certificate to donate!
• Tickets or passes to cultural events, concerts, museums or theater.
• Tickets to professional sports games, such as the Patriots, Celtics, Bruins or Red Sox. Sports tickets are always the most popular items in the silent auction.
• A special skill that you would be willing to share and offer as a gift experience, like music or dance lessons.
• A membership or subscription service, like Netflix, Blue Apron, Stitch Fix, or Audible.
• Create a themed Gift Basket. Please be sure to include an itemized list of the basket contents.

OR

• New gift items, for a themed FBC Beverly Community Basket! Donate to the Silent Auction with ease by using our new Amazon Gift Registry! When an item from the registry is purchased, it will be sent directly to the church and added to a basket. The registry contains items from many price points.

Donations should be received no later than Monday, November 11th. Every cent raised from the silent auction supports the many ministries of this church and the larger community it serves. There are no expenses taken out of whatever money is raised so you are not only supporting a very worthy cause; you are also supporting a fundraiser with no administrative costs. If you have a donation, please contact Doris-Ann at vosselerd@mersd.org, or contact Pat at the church office at 978-922-3295 to let them know what you plan to donate. Your donation will be very much appreciated.
