Annual Meeting Art Sale 2022

​As part of an initiative to increase our imaginative capacity, artists from across the conference have been invited to create imaginative art based on scripture to be showcased in a series of thematic Scattered Seeds. At our Annual Meeting in June, we will hold a silent auction for these artworks. Half of the proceeds of this auction will go to the artists who so generously donated their time, talents and imaginations to the conference, and half will go to a CPMC mission project. This year, the project we’ve chosen will be “supporting our Partners in Venezuela.” Proceeds from the auction will help to fund community meals and meals for children, as well as provide pastoral support in an extremely difficult economic environment.
 
If you would like to purchase one of these pieces of art, we invite you to attend Annual Meeting, or submit your maximum bid on on the form below. Following Annual Meeting, if you have the winning bid, you will be contacted for payment and delivery options. We encourage your generosity!
