Samaritan Ministry’s Silent Auction Begins!

November 5–8, 2025

Join bidders from partner congregations across the metro area in a friendly competition to obtain concert tickets, business gift cards, works of art, professional services, and all sorts of enticing “theme baskets,” many donated by members of St. Mark’s.  Have fun while also enabling the Ministry to continue helping men and women in need to transform their lives — work that Bishop Mariann Budde says is “mission critical” in this time of cruel cutbacks.  Be ready to bid by registering in advance on the Auctria web site: http://bit.ly/47aO1IS  Then (to paraphrase a former Chicago mayor) “Bid early and often!”
